ABOUT
BIOGRAPHY
Rebecca Momoli (Castelfranco Veneto, 2000) is a multidisciplinary artist, activist, poet, and researcher based in Milan.
After earning her Bachelor's degree in Visual Arts from NABA - Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan, she continued her studies by enrolling in the Master's program in Visual Arts and Curatorial Studies.
Her artistic practice and research are profoundly anchored in gender issues, the political and cultural history of women, the violence experienced by female subjectivities, and the power imbalances between the masculine and feminine.
Visual arts, writing, and poetry are the languages through which she conveys the political urgency and power of feminisms.
Her work has been exhibited internationally in both institutional and independent venues, including: Alchemilla at Palazzo Vizzani, Bologna; Lewisham Arthouse, London; the Botanical Garden of Rome, Sapienza Museum Hub, Rome; The Student Hotel, Florence, Italy; NABA - Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan, Palazzo Guazzoni Zaccaria for Cremona Contemporanea Artweek 2024.
She contributed to the technical team for Due Qui / To Hear, a solo exhibition by Massimo Bartolini curated by Luca Cerizza at the Italian Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale; she assisted Nicola Ricciardi for David Horvitz's solo exhibition Abandon the Place at BiM, Milan; and worked with the multidisciplinary production studio Specific, composed of Patrick Tuttofuoco, Andrea Sala, Alessandra Pallotta, Nic Bello, and Stefano D’Amelio at BiM Milan. She has collaborated with Warner Bros, Artribune, and Non Una Di Meno Pordenone. She realized "Her name is Revolution," a feminist public art project with Cheap Festival as part of MATRIA | Imaginaries of Contemporary Motherhood | by ERT Emilia Romagna Teatro Fondazione.
STATEMENT
I'm a multidisciplinary artist who traverses through visual arts, poetry, and theoretical inquiry. I work particularly with words, sculpture, photography, and installation, never forsaking drawing, writing, and the study at the basis of my practice.
Art to me is a calling, the mission that propels my existence, my plea to the world, my vow.
Embracing the ideologies of feminism, my artistic practice and research delve into addressing feminist issues and women's rights, with the aim of building new cultural paradigms that respect, honor and elevate the feminine being in all its entirety and plurality.
Women account for half of the world. In the third millennium, half of the global population is still subordinate to the male gender.
Closely intertwined with activism, my artistic practice aligns with my hunger and political urgency for a total feminist revolution of society.
Feminism is the future, the only possible future. It's not just about the happiness of women alone but the happiness of all, the triumph of justice, the caress amidst war, the only cure to the world's ailment, the light in darkness. Feminism is our party.
My art is a love letter to women and being female; to anyone who is aware of being such in any way. I fight for us every day and I love you.
