Camilla Pontiggia is an artist and filmmaker based in South Africa. Her transdisciplinary mode of work cuts across film, sound, installation, textile, performance and writing (incl. prose, poetry and screenplays). In her most recent work Pontiggia takes as a departure point her experiences of growing up between South Africa and Italy. Guided by the viscerality of these formative experiences, she unravels her personal encounters with coloniality as a (white, Christian) woman, thinking with and through gut sensations and intuitions in search of alternative forms of knowing, being, doing, and resisting.
