Lavinia Raccanello
Lavinia Raccanello is an Italian artist and sculptor whose artistic practice focuses on the relationship between human beings, society, and social justice, with particular emphases on the power of dialectic and participatory practice, and the conflict between state power and personal autonomy and responsibility. With a background in European and Transnational Law, Lavinia graduated with honours in Painting and Visual Arts in 2012 with an investigation of civil disobedience and resistance in the arts.
Since 2011, her work has been exhibited at group exhibitions in Italy, Spain, United States, India, Chile, United Kingdom, Finland, Portugal, Mexico, Austria, Switzerland and France, as well as solo exhibitions in Glasgow, New York, Turin, Milan and Romainmôtier.
She has also taken part in many artist-in-residency programs such as Fondazione Spinola Banna per l’Arte (Italy), Many Studio Graduate Residency Programme (United Kingdom), Flux Factory (United States), Many Mini Residency (Mexico), De Liceiras 18 (Porto, Portugal), Scottish Sculpture Workshop (United Kingdom), the Summer School of Engaged Art (Germany) and Arc Artist Residency (Switzerland).
