About Your Teacher
Isabella Capezio is an artist and lecturer in photography living and working on stolen Wurrundjeri Woi Wurrung land. Isabella’s work and research explore ideas of failure, queerness, and nature and how alternative and expanded forms of photography can unsettle existing colonising forms of representation. Isabella is interested in experimental, process-driven and site-specific engagements with environments and their histories to address the climate crisis, extraction and colonial logics.
