Giacomo Raffaelli –
Art Practitioner
Researcher
Teacher

I am an art practitioner, researcher and teacher occupied with how still and moving images operate within diverse exhibiting, performative and technological contexts.

My work exists mainly in collaboration with and in support to projects by other professionals across visual arts, theatre and education, through video, workshops, seminars, writing and curating.

I am co-curator of ArteVisione and founder of FluentFrame.
