Chloe Filani an artist, poet, and performer using the intersections of Blackness, womanhood and ancestral knowing. Her work pulses with power, vulnerability, and a language that refuses to be tamed.
Using poetry and embodied dance performance, Chloe channels myth, memory and personal cosmology into presence. Her work feels less like performance than invocation, with voice, gesture and language opening space for new imaginaries.
Her poetry has been published in Playing Femme by 16NSt Gallery Press, Boy Brother Friend, and Montez Press’ Interjection Calendar. Her work has also appeared in live recorded form across the Anthems podcast, a 180 Studios vinyl release with the poetry collective Black Geographies, Touching Bass for Resident Advisor, and NTS Live with Ruby Savage.
She has performed her poetry at Late at Tate, ICA, Somerset House, Prim Black x Burberry, Blackgirl picnic, Writerz Scribez, Royal Academy, 180 Studios and Reference Point.
