About Thaís Muniz
Thaís Muniz's practice spans multiple mediums to investigate the intersections between inherited and acquired identities, memory, transit, and interior love as a methodology for radical care.
Drawing from a critical engagement with the cultural geography of the places she traverses, Muniz's work is community-oriented and unfolds into collective learning processes such as workshops, performances, installations, and films. Her production also encompasses photography, celebrations, sculptures, and activations, incorporating memorabilia and symbology. Muniz proposes the reimagination of realities through refusal, dreaming, and personal magic, challenging canonical systems of belief and representation.
She holds an MA in Art and Research Collaboration from IADT, Dublin. Her work has been exhibited at the Irish Museum of Modern Art, RHA Gallery, Luan Gallery, and Sirius Arts Centre (Ireland); the Fowler Museum (Los Angeles); the Museum of Contemporary Art in Bahia (Salvador); and A Gentil Carioca (Rio de Janeiro).
