Giulia Damiani is an Italian artist based in Amsterdam who works with text and performance. Her work creates provocative performative situations, often starting from a sound investigation, posing urgent questions about violence, language, and a mythical and ecological territory.
Recently she was an Atlas resident at ImPulsTanz (2025) where she started developing her new piece Apology for Fire (coming 2026). Lately her first stage performance Heart Brake was presented at Frascati in Amsterdam in December 2025 (supported by AFK Mondriaan Finds, Voordekunst, Cultuur Fonds and Centrale Fies). In 2022, she completed her PhD based on her performance practice, entitled Porous Places: Eruptive Bodies: The Feminist Group Le Nmesiache in 1970s and 1980s Naples at the Department of Art at Goldsmiths University (London), writing extensively about the feminist group Le Nemesiache in Naples and reactivating their work. She edited the book Ritual and Display, published by If I Can't Dance in 2022. She teaches at the Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam.
