Code / 9783949973758

First monograph, featuring the artist's long-term research on the colonial and neo-colonial relations between Italy and Libya through a critical engagement with the Italian "archive of coloniality" and its structural violence. The book includes documentation of projects developed between 2017 and 2024, reflecting on positionality, censorship, archival research and the erasure of the genocide perpetrated by the Italians in Libya. Building on the artist's interest in writing, translation, and collaboration as forms of resistance practice, it brings together different voices and visual materials, putting forward a reflection on the ethical and political implications of cultural work. Alessandra Ferrini (born 1984 in Florence) is an Italian artist, researcher, and educator based in London. Her research fits into the postcolonial methodological framework, drawing on historiographic and archival practices and the so-called "Critical Whiteness Studies".
