Lia Mazzari

Lia Mazzari is a sound artist and researcher. In her practice she engages audiences through encounters with art in non-conventional spaces using performance, composition, installation and intervention. Recorded and live events explore her relationship to sound and listening through engaging field recording, cello, voices, whip cracking. Most recently her work employs environmental live audio streaming practices as unique tools and urgent fora for alternative models of listening, responding to and composing with more-than-human environments.

Winner of an Oram Award in 2022, Lia was the founder and producer of Silver Road, a drained water silo and temporary space for time-based art practices in South-East London. She developed works for Tate Modern/Britain, Biennale Gherdeina (IT), V&A Dundee, Zone2Source (NL), South London Gallery, Sunaparanta Goa Centre for the Arts (IN), Oscillation Festival (BE), British School of Rome (IT). She is currently a PhD candidate in Geography at the Centre for GeoHumanities (Royal Holloway, University of London).
