Chiara Ambrosio is a London-based filmmaker and visual artist, working with animation, documentary, photography and printed matter to explore the ways in which we perceive, remember, articulate and preserve personal and collective histories and a sense of place through the filter of memory and the imagination. Her work includes collaborations with musicians (Amanda Palmer, Bird Radio), composers (Michael Nyman) and anthropologists (Mick Taussig and Chris Wright) and has been presented extensively both nationally and internationally at venues such as The Whitechapel Gallery, Tate Britain, Anthology Film Archives and La Cinematheque Francaise. Since 2009 she has been curating “The Light Shadow Salon”, a space for the moving image, at London’s cult venue The Horse Hospital. Chiara runs a monthly radio show, “Raft”, on London’s Resonance 104.4 fm radio station, where she embarks on walks across the city with other practitioners, reaping and sowing stories within its streets.
