About, contact, etc — Alessia Arcuri

I am a graphic designer, artist and researcher working in the fields of art and culture. I have led on the graphic design of exhibitions at Tate Modern, Tate Britain and Tate St Ives; developed learning resources for The British Museum, the V&A and Tate galleries. For the latter, I worked closely with the learning teams to design intergenerational spaces such as Story Space, Play Studio and Clay Studio.

In my research and practice, I am interested in how language is made material through print and text, and how it can be embodied through voice, movement and sensorial exploration. This practice and research take the form of text-based experimentations, events and workshop formats, realised through both independent and collaborative processes.

I have presented their work at Tate Britain, ICA, Mozilla Foundation and Chisenhale Dance Space. Currently, I explore the relationship between somatic practices, publishing and performance as a doctoral researcher at Goldsmiths, University of London.
