Lodovica Guarnieri is a designer, researcher, and educator whose work explores the entanglements between ecology and modern infrastructures. Her practice grapples with technoscience as it relates to extractivism, colonialism, and their enduring toxic legacies in aquatic environments. Through her projects, she develops counter-pedagogical initiatives and sites in the form of programmes, stories, and networks where communities collectively envision new imaginaries for socio-environmental justice.
