Lisa Lomax (formerly Lisa Biagiotti) is an interdisciplinary writer, filmmaker and lecturer. She recasts a background in journalism to create speculative narratives with a social undertow.

Lisa is currently commissioned by the government of Ireland to build a time machine in a rural coastal village. The project is a collaboration among artists, scientists and local communities to experience 100 years of climate change within one immersive viewing.

As a journalist, Lisa reported on race, poverty, human rights and international crises. Her 12-part documentary series on homelessness, On the Streets, became the most-watched video series in the history of the Los Angeles Times, and went viral in China. Lisa’s award-winning documentary, deepsouth, changed the national conversation on HIV/AIDS in America.

Her work has been featured in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, L.A. Times, The Lancet, and PBS and NPR. She is the recipient of a Fulbright Award and a Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Journalism Award. She was an inaugural Sundance Artist-in-Residence at MIT Media Lab. Lisa holds a master’s degree from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism.

Lisa lives in Los Angeles with her partner, sculptor Brandon Lomax, and their child.
