Liselli is an Oslo-based French-Trinidadian artist and scenographer who weaves ecology, identity, and storytelling into speculative, reparative futures.
Her Caribbean-European mixed identity perspective, coupled with being a mother and a person of colour, accompanies her practice and guides her project-based artworks, often taking the form of storytelling performances, publications, films and installation. These are informed by participatory workshop processes as research method, but also by post-humanist theories, decolonial æsthetics, black studies, eco-feminism and eco-criticism.
Liselli’s current work engages with generational knowledge from a mixed identity through a series of what she calls ‘ritual-workshops’. These aim to challenge the inherited knowledge shaped by anthropocentric and extractive colonial practices, and to collectively reflect on the knowledge transmitted to future generations.
Liselli has had her work exhibited with the DA2 modern art museum, Salamanca, SP (2025) as well as other group exhibitions with the National Academy of Arts, Oslo, NO (2024 & 2025) and the Henie Onstad Museum (2023). Her participatory practice has led to several workshops with different communities and artist collectives, such as Sletteløkka Grendehus for the Kokeboka Sletteløkka recipe-book project (2025), Diaspora Kollektiv during their Reflections on Sanctuary exhibition (Gamle Munch Museet, 2024), and with JAM Collective, during their Oslo Zine Festival (2024). She has also collaborated with herb garden group Urtealliansen at Losæter Park and during Økouka (2024), as well as with the Oslotrær project, with Oslo kommune (2024).
