[ Claire Bosi ]

Claire Bosi (b. 1985, Italy) is a French-Italian project designer (research, management, coordination, development) based in Paris. She earned her BFA in 2007 in Visual and Performing Arts from IUAV - Polytechnic University of Project Design and the Arts, Venice (IT). She then specialized in the Design and Production of Visual Arts at the same institution and received her MFA in 2011. Her musical education at the Music Conservatory, where she studied composition, cello, choir, and graduated in Music Theory, is a central element of her background. She has been selected for several exchange programs and research grants in France (University Paris 8 + Movin’Up - Italian Ministry of Culture) and the USA (New York University).

Her research interests are in continuous evolution, alternating between theoretical and practical approaches. She explores the geography of memory related to the present moment, the boundaries between self and space, and the role of memory in the formation of identity. She investigates individual autonomy and self-responsibility within a community, emphasizing the interconnectedness of human beings with nature. Additionally, she integrates pedagogy as a crucial lever for fostering change in the world of tomorrow, highlighting the transformative power of education in developing a collective consciousness.

In her work, she addresses themes concerning the connection between personal biography and history, the relationship between private and collective experiences, and the narrative power of sound and images linked to their ability to tell a story. Her approach focuses on storytelling through fragments of everyday life, allowing viewers to develop their own reference imagery.

Her practice is articulated through various languages and mediums, ranging from photography to moving images, installations to sound, and participatory and collaborative projects. By integrating pedagogical methods, she aims to engage individuals and communities, encourage critical thinking and personal action, enabling everyone to make conscious decisions and actively contribute to positive changes in society.
