Lodovica Guarnieri is a designer, researcher, and educator whose work explores the entanglements between ecology and modern infrastructures. Her practice interrogates technoscience in relation to the toxic afterlives of extractivism and colonialism in aquatic environments, critically engaging with these phenomena through site-specific projects. She develops counter-pedagogical initiatives and sites in the form of programmes, performances, and networks where communities practice collectively to envision new imaginaries for socio-environmental justice.
