ALICE SCHIVARDI

Alice Schivardi studied at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan and lives between Rome and New York. Her research focuses on collecting stories, establishing and exploring human relationships, as well as those with other living beings, things, and environments.
Her work is expressed in performaces, installations, and the distinctive embroidery designs: works on vellum, on which she sews different subjects, both natural, anthropomorphic and religious.
