EXERCISE

Mónica de Miranda (born Porto, 1976) is a Portuguese visual artist, photographer, filmmaker, and researcher of Angolan ancestry who works on postcolonial issues of geography, history, and subjectivity mostly related to Africa and its diaspora. Her mediums include photography, mixed media and video. De Miranda first became known for her photographic documentation of the ruins of modern hotels in post-war Angola, and of its sociopolitical significance.[1][2][3][4] Her photographic series, videos, short films, and installations have been internationally exhibited at art biennales, galleries, and museums, some of which keep her work in their permanent art collections.[5][6][7][8] Her work has been reviewed in specialized art sources.[9][10][11][12]

Miranda was born in Porto and is based in Lisbon since 2009.[13][14][15]

Education[edit]

De Miranda graduated as a Bachelor of Visual Arts from the Camberwell College of Arts, London, in 1998. She completed an MSc in Art and Education at the Institute of Education, London, in 2000, and obtained a PhD degree in Visual Arts and Multimedia at the University of Middlesex in 2014 (Thesis: Geography of Affections: Tales of Identity, Diaspora and Travel in contemporary arts).[16] She pursued postdoctoral studies at the University of Lisbon between 2015 and 2018.[17]

Career[edit]

De Miranda is affiliated to the University of Lisbon, Centro de Estudos Comparatistas, Faculdade de Letras, where she works as a researcher, in projects dealing with sociocultural and political aspects of contemporary migration movements linked to lusophone Africa. Among such projects are Post-Archive: Politics of Memory, Place and Identity, and Visual Culture, Migration, Globalization and Decolonization.[17][18][19]

During her multiyear stay in London prior to 2009,[15] she collaborated with researchers at Goldsmiths College[20] and the Institute of International Visual Arts.[21] In projects involving Tate Britain, she worked with underprivileged adolescents in schools and community centres in the boroughs of Peckham and Brixton.[22]

In Lisbon, she is a co-founder of Xerem, a cultural association that runs a programme of international residencies and workshops for artists[23] and is part of The Triangle Network;[24] She is also a Director and artistic coordinator at Hangar, an art research center in Graça founded in 2014 .[25]

Founder of the Project Hangar at the Center of Artistic Research in Lisbon.[26]

Works[edit]

Mónica de Miranda's exhibition at Sabrina Amrani gallery, 2020

De Miranda's work is research-based and looks at the convergence of politics, gender, memory and space.[28] Her works typically consist of video, photography and installation, which frequently register the artist's view on urban and peri-urban, Luso-African landscape and associated contemporary and colonial history.[29] Her works have been shown at art biennales including the Dakar Biennal, Bamako Biennal & Bienal de Sur, galleries, and museums including the Berardo Collection Museum (Lisbon 2016),[13] the Pera Museum (Istanbul 2017)[30] the Museu Nacional de Arte Contemporânea do Chiado (MNAC, Lisbon 2014),[7] the Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology (Lisbon 2019),[5] and the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum (Lisbon 2020).[6] The latter three museums, as well as the Lisbon Municipal Archive,[8] the PLMJ Foundation,[31] and the Centro Cultural de Lagos[32] keep De Miranda's pieces in their permanent art collections.

Her pieces have been nominated to the Novo Banco Photo Award (2016),[33] and the Novos Artistas Award of Fundação EDP in 2019.[34] Her exhibition Geografia Dormente was nominated to the Best Photographic Work of the Authors Prize – 2019 by the Sociedade Portuguesa de Autores.[35] Substantial critique of De Miranda's artwork can be found online, where she has been regarded as an artist whose work crosses borders and outlines a landscape of plural identities, inspired by her own experience of an increasingly itinerant culture.[33][36][37] Monica's images are lyrical, performative, and contemplated quiet moments that offer a kind of solace...very reflective and melancholic, has written Marigold Warner, Associate Online Editor at the British Journal of Photography when reviewing De Miranda's artwork.[11]

Her best known pieces include Panorama,[2] Hotel Globo,[38] Contos de Lisboa,[39] and Circular do Sul.[40] Her work has been reviewed in specialized art sources such as New York,[9] L'Œil de la photographie,[10] British Journal of Photography,[11] and Aesthetica Magazine.[12]

De Miranda's oeuvre has been the subject of study of a number of academic works, examining aspects such as her sarcastic photography,[41] the deep sociopolitical meanings behind her films,[42] the aesthetics of fragmenting, moving and doubling in her photographic installations,[43] and her influence on contemporary Portuguese videoart.[44]
