Interdisciplinary trans artist from and based in Italy, always looking for new means and methods to express themselves

​

Dopo il diploma di liceo artistico, inizia gli studi all’accademia di belle arti di Firenze, dove è attualmente alla scuola di Grafica d’Arte.

I suoi interessi spaziano dalle diverse tecniche di stampa, all’arte digitale e multimediale, videoinstallazioni, fino all’autoproduzione e distribuzione di fanzine e a metodi di modificazioni corporali come i tatuaggi. 

Il concetto d’identità è al centro della ricerca e degli interessi di Mimì, come persona trans non binaria, la sua arte è strettamente collegata all’identità. 

I suoi lavori esplorano la sessualità, il desiderio, il piacere e la felicità. Le emozioni vissute dalle persone trans in un paese bigotto come l’Italia vengono riportate nei suoi lavori come un fattore importante nella creazione. 

Alle spalle, esperienza e grande interesse nel mondo dell’autoproduzione, con partecipazione a fiere e festival indipendenti di distribuzione underground.

The emotions that are lived by trans people in a bigot country such as Italy are shown as mandatory to explain and represent the meaning of its creation.
