Pamela Diamante

Pamela Diamante (Bari, 1985)

From 2002 to 2007 she served in the Italian Army, leaving with the rank of Corporal Major; she later earned a diploma in Sculpture from the Academy of Fine Arts in Bari in 2016.

Through different expressive media (audiovisual, sculpture, and installation), she explores the relationship between social classes and political and financial power structures. Her practice is conceived as an open and dynamic process, taking shape in works/devices capable of questioning the participation of the viewer and critically engaging with the cultural and anthropological mechanisms of knowledge, economic production, and communication.

Her works have been exhibited in public and private institutions such as: MO.CA (Brescia, 2025); Fondazione Museo Montelupo Onlus (Montelupo Fiorentino, 2024); Mattatoio (Rome, 2023); Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro (Milan, 2022); Ioseb Grishashvili Historical Museum (Tbilisi, 2021); CerModern Arts Center (Ankara, 2021); Kyiv History Museum (Kyiv, 2021); GAM (Turin, 2020); PAC Padiglione Arte Contemporanea (Milan, 2020); CaMusAc (Cassino, 2020); Concretespace (Miami, 2019); Kooshk (Tehran, 2017); MAXXI (Rome, 2016); Centro de Desarrollo de las Artes Visuales (Havana, 2015).

Among her most important recognitions: PAC General Directorate of Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry of Culture (2025); Covivio Prize (2022); Artists Development Programme of the European Investment Bank (2019); Italy-Argentina Prize of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (2017); National Arts Prize promoted by the MIUR (2015).
