Federica current research interrogates contemporary concerns in Europe regarding migration as represented in cultural practices.
She is the author of Reframing Migration: Lampedusa, Border Spectacle and Aesthetics of Subversion (Peter Lang, 2019), which explores how activist and art forms have become a platform for subverting the dominant narrative of migration and generating a vital form of political dissent. Federica co-curated an exhibition on the subject of migrant death at sea, called "Sink Without Trace" which took place in June-July 2019 at the P21 Gallery in London. The exhibition focussed on art being made on the subject by artists who have experienced forced migration personally, shown alongside international artists.
She is involved in several interdisciplinary projects on migration, including a collective writing project called Minor Keywords of Political Theory: Migration as a Critical Standpoint (2021).
She has been working with NGOs and Charities including Migrant Voice, Art Refuge, Counterpoints Arts and Migration Collective.
Federica is the review editor of the journal Crossings: Journal of Migration and Culture (Intellect.)
