Thaís Muniz
In residence July 2024.
Thaís is a visual artist interested in exploring the connections between inherited and acquired identities, memory and inward love. Her work brings about intimate communal learning processes through workshops, performances, installations, urban interventions, audio-visual media, sculptures and celebrations.
Since 2022, she has been investigating mental health, displacement and nature through her research project titled, New Atlantic Triangulations. Thaís describes herself as 'a Brazilian woman of Central and West African heritage who acquired Irish citizenship'. Within the constructs and complexity of identity, she examines the many layers of power and trauma that link the cosmologies of Brazil, Central and West Africa and Ireland, using them as tools for personal and collective healing.
Thaís is developing a body of work for a solo exhibition using different mediums and techniques across textiles, sculptures, installations, performance, photography, film and group workshops. She invites us to reimagine realities through refusal, dreaming and personal magic.
