London and Cyprus based artist and researcher, working primarily with moving-image and textual based works engaging with memory, non-linear temporality and ritual performances.
Informed by an MA Visual Anthropology from Goldsmiths College and the Radical Film School, their lens-based work moves between ethnographic, documentary and experimental film. Alongside a moving image practice, Florenza is deeply committed to alternative pedagogical spaces, and public programming as a site of collective learning. They are the co-founder of
Critical Coffee Reading. Florenza’s work has been screened and exhibited at Oxford University, Swansea University Egypt Centre, SET Woolwich, BFI, Cyprus High Commission and Cyens Thinker Makerspace
amongst others. Most recently, Florenza made a short documentary film on the LGBTQ+ Pride Protests in north Cyprus, supported by the Heinrich Böll Stiftung
Global Feminist Pitch.
They are also currently refurbishing the old Toplum Postası building on Green Lanes, London, turning the defunct newspaper office into a
community centre. Their practice is collaborative, exploratory and multilingual, grounded in community.
