Elisa Giardina Papa’s research-driven practice seeks forms of knowledge and desire that have been disqualified and rendered nonsensical by hegemonic demands for order and legibility. Sifting through discarded AI training datasets, censored cinema repositories,
or factitious colonial accounts, she traces how recurrent forms of extractive capitalism have strained our capacities for living and laboring. Her work has been exhibited at the 59th Venice Biennale, the Whitney Museum, Gropius Bau, ICA London, among others. EGP lives and works in New York and Sant’Ignazio, Sicily, and is a professor of Modern Culture and Media at Brown University.
