Francesca Brunetti is an artist and scholar, and she is currently employed as a Teaching Fellow in Design Foundations at the Institute of Creativity and Innovation at Xiamen University in China. She completed a PhD in Visual and Performing Arts at the University of Texas, Dallas, as well as a MA in Communication Design from the Glasgow School of Art and a MA and BA in Philosophy from La Sapienza University of Rome.

She has exhibited her work in several group and solo shows in the USA, UK, Italy, China, and Japan; held teaching appointments at American, European, and Asian universities; presented her artistic projects at international academic conferences; and published articles about her work in peer-reviewed journals.

Feminist theory informs Francesca’s studio art practice while her artworks provide additional elements to her theoretical investigations into feminism and ecology. She uses 2D analogue and digital artistic techniques, feminist philosophy, and ecocriticism to explore the relationship between female subjectivity and her material existence, the ecocritical approach to visual cultures, and the representation of women in cultural productions.
