LISELLI
I am an Oslo-based French and Trinidadian artist and scenographer currently investigating the colonial and human-centered legacies within generational knowledge, from a mixed-identity perspective. My work focuses on exploring the relationship between ecology, time, identity and kinship, through a research-based practice.
This practice is both narrative and participatory in nature: I work with imagination, collective world-building and storytelling as my framework to explore imaginations of sustainable futures, together with other beings, with an emphasis on social and climate justice.
I am inspired by post-humanistic theories, decolonial æsthetics, black and eco-feminism among other thoughts. This, together with my own artistic practice, creates a variety of project-based artworks that act as communication capsules for my research. These can take the form of storytelling performances, artist-book publications and installations.
