Elisa Ferrari

Elisa Ferrari works with sound, performance, and writing. Her practice attends to memory formations, translingual ecologies, sonic sediments, and the possibilities of reception and idleness. Elisa’s projects and collaborations take on different forms including exhibition-making, sound events, listening workshops, archival projects and community building initiatives. On Vancouver co-op radio, she hosts aux-sends—a quarterly radio series about experimental music, sound, and aural poetics. She is a PhD student at SFU’s School for the Contemporary Arts. Ferrari lives as an uninvited guest on the unceded lands of the səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish) and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam),, and in Brescia, Italy, where she grew up.
