Carol Stampone is a Brazilian philosopher, writer and performance artist based in Bergen Norway. She holds a Bachelor’s and a Master’s in Philosophy (Unicamp and UiB) and is currently undertaking an MA in Fine Arts at KMD. She sees herself as a work-in-progress mother and feminist, interested in investigating how we can listen better to one another. She is critical of the limitations of performative empathy and believes that our sites of speech largely affect what we are able to see, listen, and care about. Her current practice and research aim at creating temporary liminal spaces where the participants can acknowledge and transcend their marks and situatedness. Through writing labs, conversations, and performances she creates experiences to invite the participants to be astonished, think, and care. Among the themes she deals with are belonging, motherhood, sustainability, gender issues, site of speech, race, exile, and liminal spaces.
