Biography

Andrea Celeste La Forgia is an artist based in Rotterdam (NL). Combining archival research, painting, prop-making, and spoken word performance, her practice interweaves family experience with historical class struggle to explore the intersection of class, labor, and art-making. Seeking to capture the class-based affect embodied in contemporary labour, she questions promises of a better life, upward mobility, and social equality. Andrea Celeste holds a BA from Camberwell College of Arts, London and a MA from Piet Zwart Institute, Rotterdam.

Slippages of the Mouth, 2025 Performance

Performances
Curator / Team
with Gloriya Avgust / Curator: Boryana Petkova

Biting, spitting, chewing, swallowing, and gagging, Slippages of the Mouth is a performance conceived by Gloriya Avgust and Andrea Celeste La Forgia. Four characters linger over the taste of feminist class struggle and the tensions between labour, the gendered body, identity, and performance. By situating the mouth as a stage and the tongue as a site of revolt, the work exposes the vulnerability of bringing the foreign inside and casts every character into question.
