ABOUT
Cecilia Casabona is an independent curator and an interdisciplinary designer. Her practice/research focuses on collective strategies of thinking and “doing otherwise” with a particular interest around the notion of productivity in the neoliberal west. “Doing otherwise” becomes an act of making, like the worker’s strikes, that enables to rethink the way humans (co)habit the world - even with critters other than themselves.
Trained as product designer at Politecnico di Milano, she approached design research and criticism by attending the Master Critical Inquiry Lab at the Design Academy in Eindhoven. There, she developed her interests towards participatory performance methodologies. Some of her recent projects, in fact, include performances, workshops together/with and beyond the human.
Currently collaborating with Onomatopee Projects as Associate Curator.
