Biografia
Giulia Mangoni is an Italian-Brazilian artist whose practice revolves around the ethics of return. Through painting and orchestrated interventions, she seeks to deconstruct notions of memory and identity tied to specific geographies and decentralized communities. Her work develops through visual methods of personal narration, often emerging from dialogue with multiple voices whose influences, relationships, and contributions help shape works that temporarily solidify an evolving process of knowledge- and world-building. Mangoni is currently deepening her research into ideas of territorial belonging through collaborations with artisans, agronomists, and breeders of autochthonous species in the Ciociaria region, while applying these developing methodologies to projects in other territories. Born in 1991 in Isola del Liri, Italy, Mangoni grew up between Italy and Brazil and now lives and works in her hometown. She holds a Foundation Degree in Art & Design from Falmouth University of the Arts (2011), a BA in Painting from City & Guilds of London Art School (2014), where she received both the Skinner’s Company Philip Connard Travel Prize and the Chadwick Healey Prize for Painting, and an MFA from the SVA Art Practice program in New York City (2019). () In 2025, she took part in Genius Loci, ExtrArtis in collaboration with DOM Art Residence in Sorrento. She is also among the artists featured in the international Triennale Milano project Pittura Italiana Oggi / Pintura Italiana Hoy / Hoje: Una Nuova Scena, presented in Buenos Aires and Brasília and continuing to Rio de Janeiro. () In 2026, she contributed to Casa Italia for the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics with Peak Begets Peak, a wall painting and installation created in collaboration with James Hillman. () She is also scheduled to present a solo exhibition at MAC – Museo d’Arte Contemporanea di Lissone in 2026.
