Biography:
Antonia Anna Ferrante is a queer transfeminist terrona activist and scholar. As a post-doc in the ERC The BOS project she contributes to the critical perspective through the feminist, queer, postcolonial epistemologies, critical animal studies and other imaginaries.
She holds a PhD in Cultural and Postcolonial Studies from the University of Naples l'Orientale and is co-founder of TechnocultureResearchUnit and Femminismi Futuri. As postdoc in University IUAV of Venice, she developed a project on the theoretical and technological composting of queer, performance and political ecologies practices and theories, that was recently published by Sossella Editore. Her monograph is entitled Pelle Queer Maschere Straight. Il regime di visibilità omonormativo oltre la televisione (Mimesis), and edited Femminismi Futuri. Teorie Poetiche Fabulazioni (Iacobelli) and Trame. Pratiche e saperi per un'ecologia politica situata (Tamu).
Notes on Craft aims to foster conversations between activism and academia, and to give context to students and early career academics on how their political, scholarly, and lived experiences might effectively feed and shape one another.
