Nico Angiuli (Adelfia, 1981) is an Italian visual artist, performer, and filmmaker based in Berlin.
He studied at the Fine Arts Academies of Rome and Bari and at IUAV University of Venice.

From 2017 to 2025, lecturer of Performance Techniques for the Visual Arts at the Academy of Bari, and since 2025 at UNIDEE–Cittadellarte Fondazione Pistoletto.

From 2006 to 2011, he collaborated with Stalker/Osservatorio Nomade, co-founding Ilmotorediricerca and contributing to transnational research between Italy, Albania, and Greece. Since 2009, has developed a long-term investigation on labour: Ma Vai a Lavorare! (2009), Le Piastrelle Sono Intenzioni (2010), and The Tools’ Dance (2010–2017), later presented as a three-act play at Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan (2017).

In 2010, he created a posthumous cycle drawn from Pino Pascali’s unfinished projects, producing performances, photographs, and eleven sculptures (three realised). In 2015, Tre Titoli, a film on peasant struggles and migrant exploitation involved in the Italian tomato production, was presented at the 16th Quadriennale of Rome and the 2nd Kyiv Biennale.

In 2018, he received the Italian Council for The Human Tools, a film installation (74 min) that put on stage eleven different forms of slavery, from ancient Rome to the Amazon globalised workers. 

As the EMAP–EMARE prize winner, he developed Amazon Dance at Onassis STEGI in Athens in 2021. The Italian Ministry of Culture later supported Vacanze Intelligenti (Cantica21), Part-Time Resistance (MACTE Termoli, 2022–ongoing), and Fighting Seeds (research in Palestine and Colombia, active as a Berlin collective since 2024).

Recent projects include Pfand Straße (Berlin, leading to a solo exhibition in Italy in 2026); Ce Arde (Intersecția residency, Romania, with IIC Bucharest, 2025); Voci Ultra Terrene (installation on agricultural biodiversity in the Bari area, 2025); and Notturno Senza Luna (Calabria, with La Rivoluzione delle Seppie, 2025).
