Chiara Caiazzo

Chiara Caiazzo is a PhD candidate in Contemporary Philosophy at Pompeu Fabra University (Barcelona), and a Fellow in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures at Harvard University, where she is part of the “Cultural Agents” Initiative. Her dissertation, titled Can Art Spark a Revolution? Confronting Rancière’s Aisthesis and supervised by Prof. Dr. Santiago Zabala, proposes a reexamination of Rancière’s politico-aesthetic theory through the lenses of philosophical hermeneutics. Exploring the intertwining of artistic and political practices is essential to reveal how cultural interventions can disclose absent emergencies and provide tools to navigate contemporary crises. She combines her research with her own artistic practice. Her work primarily focuses on experimental filmmaking, portrait photography, and digital illustration.
