Alessandra Cianelli - On the Practice of Wonder and the Need for an Archive/ Sulla pratica della meraviglia e la necessità di un archivio
Alessandra Cianelli is a researcher, artist, and cultural practitioner based in Naples, trained in Yoga studies in the lineage of Krishnamacharia from South India. Her work explores the intersection of memory and historical narratives through various mediums, including video, audio, texts, installations, performances, and lectures. Cianelli's research engages with biological and biographical archives, examining themes such as coloniality, migration, Southern epistemologies and rural archetypes. Her project "Il paese delle terre d’Oltremare" [The land of the overseas territories] explores through performative interventions the ruins of the fascist empire exhibition (Mostra d’Oltremare) at the outskirts of Naples. Cianelli’s work has been exhibited at the Museo Madre in Naples and internationally. She is the founder of "Dormire", an informal residency project exploring memory through artistic research and production, and a member of the Centro Studi Postcoloniali e di Genere at the University of Naples "L'Orientale".
