About

 

Alongside her writing and research, Giulia Damiani has been teaching in various higher education and art institutions. Currently she teaches Art Theory at Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam and performative writing in various academies. In 2019 she was awarded the teaching fellowship from the Higher Education Academy (UK) for her pedagogical work in university. 


Previous to her PhD in the Art Department at Goldsmiths University (AHRC Funding 2017-2021) she graduated from the MA in Critical Writing in Art and Design at the Royal College of Art (London) in 2014. She has a BA (Honours) in English and Russian Languages, Literature and Arts. 


Her research intersects body, place and feminist creative methods to arrive at ruptures in language and context. She has written extensively about the volcano Vesuvius and the feminist group Le Nemesiache from Naples; her PhD focused on mythology, ritual, performance and landscape in connection to Le Nemesiache's work. She’s currently carrying out research for a new performance work that investigates the relationship between landscape and heartbreak.


She has collaborated with and presented work at a range of institutions, including If I Can't Dance (Amsterdam), Centrale Fies (Italy), Mercer Union (Canada) ICI (Berlin) HKW (Berlin), Chelsea Space (London), the Spanish Acedemy in Rome, University of Santa Caterina, FAAP and Pivô (Brazil), Centro Cultural São Paulo, The Showroom and Goldsmiths University (London), Withworth Art Gallery (Manchester) The Studio (Jordan), ODD (Bucharest), Philosophy Institute (Naples) and the University of Minho (Portugal).
