Biography

Elisabetta Garletti is a Bye Fellow in History of Art at Murray Edwards College, University of Cambridge. She completed a PhD in History of Art at the University of Cambridge, exploring the reimagination of visual archetypes of femininity in contemporary British moving image art through queer, transfeminist, postcolonial and posthuman lenses. Prior to her doctorate, she completed an MPhil in History of Art and a BA in Modern and Medieval Languages, also at Cambridge.

Elisabetta supervises undergraduate courses in the Department of History of Art, focusing on philosophical approaches to the discipline and display histories. She has also delivered lectures and seminars on queer feminist methodologies in art history and postcolonial feminist approaches to artists’ moving image. In addition to her academic work, she regularly writes art criticism for Burlington Contemporary.
