Cristina Lavosi

artist and filmmaker

Cristina Lavosi (b. 1993, IT) is a research-driven visual artist and filmmaker based in The Hague (NL). Her artistic research critically examines and re-imagines Western prevailing political systems, challenging how cultural and political institutions shape dominant narratives, enforce norms of life, and legitimise violent power structures.

Her video works have been exhibited internationally, including at Filmhuis Den Haag (NL), Fabbrica del Vapore (IT), Internationale Kurzfilmtage Oberhausen (DE), Kinemastik (MT), and Jatiwangi art Factory (ID). Her work has been awarded with the KABK Master Award, Stroom Pro Onderzoek, Stroom Pro Invest, and Mondriaan Kunstenaar Start. She is also co-founder of First Cut, an artist-run initiative curating screenings of experimental video art, and a member of Filmwerkplaats in Rotterdam, an artist-run film lab dedicated to 16mm film making practices.
