Flora Cabili is a self-taught interdisciplinary artist, educator, and queer storyteller who uses public engagement, installations, movement, and mixed-media works to explore themes of origin, assembly and dislocation. She draws from found materials' memory to explore our collective relationship to the natural and built environment.  Currently, Flora explores climate futures by drawing from the memory of found materials – specifically petroleum byproducts –  to investigate our collective relationship to the natural and built environment. Through this exploration, they grapple with how we can collectively  (re)consider the nature of the material and how we manipulate nature. How can we contemplate notions of space, permanence, and extraction? She was born and raised in France. Flora traces their roots to France, Egypt, Greece, and Italy.
