Elisabetta Garletti

Elisabetta is a scholar of artists’ moving image, with particular interests in gender representation and the intersections between art and politics. Her PhD research examined the reimagining of visual archetypes of femininity in contemporary British moving image art through queer, transfeminist, postcolonial, and posthuman lenses, while exploring how feminist politics and originally countercultural art forms might retain their critical force amid neoliberal co-option and institutional absorption.

Elisabetta teaches and lectures in the Department of History of Art and in Film and Screen Studies. Within the Department of History of Art, she supervises the Part IIA course ‘Approaches to the History of Art and Architecture’ and Part IIB course ‘The Display of Art’. In Film and Screen Studies, she contributes to graduate teaching specialising in queer and feminist approaches to cinema and artists’ moving image. She has also delivered lectures and seminars on feminist and queer art histories, and on postcolonial feminist approaches to artists’ moving image.

Her writing has appeared in both scholarly and general publications, including Visual Culture in Britain, Perspective: actualité en histoire de l’art, The Burlington Magazine, Burlington Contemporary, Espace art actuel, and Full Bleed.
