Lydia Prodi

Lydia Prodi is a researcher in medieval studies and a fashion writer. Their work spans cultural semiotics, medieval symbolism, and contemporary visual culture. Recent projects include a research-led creative exploration of the Carmina Burana, investigating how medieval lyricism and performance intersect with modern narrative forms. Their fiction engages myth as symbolic architecture rather than fantasy, using fragmentation and silence to explore themes of power, autonomy, and perception. They are particularly interested in nonlinear, structurally disobedient storytelling as a means of expressing what traditional narrative forms often overlook or suppress.
