Elisa Giardina Papa “She Flickered In and Out of History” at ICA London

Elisa Giardina Papa’s upcoming 2026 ICA London exhibition, “She Flickered In and Out of History,” offers a compelling example for emerging artists. Her new video and mixed-media installation draws inspiration from the 1831 emergence and disappearance of an underwater volcanic island, and the subsequent sovereignty dispute. This ambitious project demonstrates how deeply researching a specific, even obscure, historical event can inspire compelling, interdisciplinary art. It encourages early-career women artists to explore unique narratives and unconventional subject matter, proving that truly innovative art often emerges from re-examining what has been overlooked.
