About Chiara Zanini

contact: chiara.zanini@outlook.com My name is Chiara and I work as a journalist, editorial assistant, critic, festival organiser, trainer and DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) specialist in Italy. I have collaborated with media such as Rolling Stone, Internazionale, Wired, Artribune, il Manifesto, Left, Valigia Blu, Il Fatto Quotidiano, Il Tascabile, Facta and Il Lavoro Culturale writing about current affairs, politics, human rights, culture and subcultures, inequalities, misinformation and more. I have worked extensively in the film and publishing industry and co-edited the first book dedicated to director Céline Sciamma ("Architetture del desiderio. The Cinema of Céline Sciamma" published by Asterisco). I graduated from the School for legal operators specialised in international protection of ASGI (Association for Juridical Studies on Immigration) and I am currently co-coordinator of Amnesty International Italia's activities at the Festival dei Popoli. I have worked for many cultural events with different roles, from festival programmer to museum assistant, bookseller and librarian. I was born in Padua, Italy, in 1981. And I am a huge fan of David Bowie.
