Laura Malacart is a visual artist working across media: performance, moving image, photography and writing.

Each project is informed by collaborations and contextual research. The practice is alive - interacting and interfering with people, places and material realities. It’s a material and conceptual tool to open up dialogues, especially when it comes to questions around subjectivity, de-colonialising places and narratives, social justice and ecology.

After studying Comparative Languages and Literatures in Italy, I was educated in fine art in the UK with a First Class BA at the University of Leeds (1993-97), an MA in Fine Art Photography at the Royal College of Art (1997-99) and a AHRC funded PhD at the Slade School of Fine Art, London (2007-11).

I have taught in higher education in London and as a visiting lecturer internationally. I also worked in an editorial role for an no budget moving image magazine and I currently run a physical and virtual project space in Italy @thebalconyprojectceglie.

My work has been disseminated in the UK and internationally via museums, institutions, publications, screenings, in art and non art spaces.
