ABOUT

Alice’s work unfolds across performance, writing and visual composition. Working within an expanded interdisciplinary field, she investigates how social and psychological structures shape our affective worlds, using play as a method for gently loosening and unmaking dominant cultural norms.

Her practice lingers in the spaces of nuance, paradox and quiet dissimulation, attending to the ways intimacy, memory and shared vulnerability can open up alternative ways of relating. Collaboration and participation are central to her approach, creating environments in which collective presence becomes an instrument for reimagining the everyday.

Born in Rome and based between Brussels and London, Alice develops works that move between the personal and the communal, staging encounters that invite new modes of attention, empathy and connection.
