Valentina, born in 1982 in Milan, lives and works in Tirana – is a visual artist, writer and pedagogue. Digging into archives and communities, Valentina uses storytelling through film, writing, sound and actions in public spaces to question the politics of representation and narration.

She holds a Master of Research in Visual Practices from Glasgow School of Art and a PhD (AHRC funded) from the University of Dundee (DJCAD, Visual Research Centre). Engaged with radical pedagogy, Bonizzi’s work has developed through a long-term friendship with communities in Albania, Palestine, Italy and Scotland.
