Laura Mega is an artist deeply engaged in the international contemporary art scene. She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and at the University of the Image in Milan— a pioneering institution focused on the five senses, founded by renowned photographer Fabrizio Ferri.

Her artistic practice investigates emancipation and the evolution of the human being in their uniqueness, both individual and collective, with the aim of promoting fairer, more equitable, and respectful societies, in human relationships as well as in relation to the environment.

Through a clear and contemporary visual language, her work explores emotional, social, and political themes. Her approach is often subtly ironic, inviting viewers to take an active role in reinterpreting and confronting the narratives presented from alternative perspectives.

Her works have been exhibited in numerous venues and events, including ResoboxGallery, M55 Art Gallery, Endless Biennial, Ivy Brown Gallery (New York), Sejong Museum of Art (Seoul), The Others Art Fair (Turin), MACRO Museum of Contemporary Art (Rome), MADXI (Latina), MuMo – Museum Montanelli (Prague), Palazzo Martinengo (Brescia), Every Woman Biennial (London), KOU Gallery (Rome), WTA – World Textile Art and Textile Biennial, Museo Tessile (Busto Arsizio), Italy Pavilion Expo 2025 (Osaka), Larnaca Biennale (Cyprus), TRYST – International Art Fair, Torrance Art Museum (California), QIPO Fair (Mexico City), and Dakar Biennale (Senegal).

Her works are part of the collections of Fondazione Moleskine (Milan), KOU Gallery (Rome), MuMo – Museum Montanelli (Prague), Fondazione Donà dalle Rose (Venice), as well as several private collections. She has also collaborated with international organizations such as PULSE Art Fair – Art Basel Miami, SOME SERIOUS BUSINESS (Los Angeles), Culture Monks (India), Task Force for Music and Arts – TaFMA (Nagaland, India), and Associazione Seconda Chance (Rome).

Notably, she developed the relational art project “La Parola Libera” within the high-security women’s detention section of Rebibbia prison, fostering dialogue and empowerment through art.

She is the recipient of the Culture Moves Europe Grant for the project “Cyprus Memory”—a site-specific installation in Nicosia commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, supported by the Goethe-Institut and European funds.

She is also among the artists of BAU 18_ Container of Contemporary Culture and the creator of the international art project “DREAMERS,” as well as co-founder of the project “LAZZARO_art doesn’tsleep.”
