Nicola Bozzi

My name is Nicola Bozzi and I’ve been writing around for a while. I’m mostly interested in globalised identities and the role of art in society, but I’ve covered anything in between exhibitions, movies, media, design, urbanism, and stand-up comedy. You can find links to some of my stuff below, as well as a list of presentations I’ve given. For my academic writing you can visit my Academia profile, and since you’re at it please subscribe to my newsletter about comedy, media and culture. Lastly, it goes without saying: follow me on Twitter and Instagram — if you don’t mind lots of unrequested comedy-related opinions and pictures of walls.
