Jeanna Criscitiello works with text, sound, performance, and research to weave multi-voiced narratives that dismantle stereotypes and reframe the histories of feminine identity

Her artistic approach—rooted in the production of spoken word and text-based compositions—involves intense periods of research, closely studying a wide range of sources. Criscitiello’s work thrives on material including feminist and queer theory; Greek myths, fables and folk literature; histories of art, design, and architecture; poetry, and astrology. Distilling these inputs through the prism of her critical gaze, with a focus on the female and feminist experience, the artist creates generous live performative works and open-ended collaborations. Jeanna Criscitiello manifests her artistic enquiries onstage in both a criticism of mainstream culture as a vessel for patriarchal doctrine and a celebration of its détournement as a tool for deeper reflection.
