Maria Iorio and Raphaël Cuomo

Maria Iorio and Raphaël Cuomo are artists and filmmakers. Favouring a collaborative praxis and long-term research, their recent projects engage with past and present global mobilities. Their films manifest unheard voices, diasporic experiences and resistant subjectivities. They have created film programmes and exhibitions that revisit the historiography of moving image practices and ‘minor cinemas’. Their work has been presented in various exhibitions and film festivals, including Documenta 14, Courtisane, DOK Leipzig, Visions du Réel – where their film Chronicles of that time was awarded the Special Jury Award.

Undead Voices (2019–2021) explores the remnants of 1970s Italian feminist activism through a decaying Super 8 film. Blending archival fragments, personal memory, and sound collaborations, it reimagines how lost histories can speak.
