A graduate in Political Science, she created and hosts Music of Revolutions, a podcast that explores the revolutionary histories of the Global South through their musical heritage.

Federica Bueti is a writer, editor, and lecturer whose work explores feminist and decolonial methodologies in art, literature, and critical theory.

Since 2020, she has also been a Writing Tutor at the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam. Her research and writing trace resonances across feminist and decolonial literatures, Mediterranean imaginaries, the politics of voice, and the poetics of refusal.

Alongside her academic work, she has curated programs at institutions such as SAVVY Contemporary, and recently collaborated with artist Shuruq Harb on the short film Off Your Shore – Paper Trail (Busan Biennale, 2024). Her texts have appeared in numerous art magazines, critical anthologies, and artist monographs.
