Michelangelo Magnini
Michelangelo is a visual artist and writer from Italy, born in 1999.
His practice is grounded in experimental publishing and printmaking. Michelangelo’s work is informed by and strongly positioned in a radical queer and neurodivergent perspective and mainly focuses on designed hegemonic violence and all the shapes it can take, as well as counter-violence, exclusion as self defense, the development of alternative spaces and means of existence, and erased or hidden histories.
He’s interested in alternative methods of publication and archival praxis, exploring what visibility entails for specific communities and how to keep the access to certain information restricted when needed.
Through techniques of fragmentation, self-censorship, outspoken visuals and writing he dives into social analysis, perverting it through the lens of queer theory with a focus on concepts of failure and resistance and a good dose of irony.
