Giulia Mangoni (1991, Isola del Liri, IT) is a Brazilian-Italian artist creating layered interventions that metabolize archival material through the lens of painting, mixing south American and European pictorial traditions in order to play with notions of memory and identity.  

 

Primordial Shoes // Scarpe Primordiali  brings together new works by Giulia Mangoni, as part of a wide-range project that emerges after a return to her birthplace in Ciociaria region, in meridional Italy, after years of living abroad. In response to a movement of territorial self-representation, the project begins with the transcription of an archive of books, objects, stories and lived experience. In collaboration with John Cabot University and inspired by the academic environment of 4m2 Gallery, the artist Mangoni has created canvas and layered panels closely connected to the performed rurality and cowboy culture of her local territory.
