Mónica de Miranda: The Island

When locked in the noise of colonising regimes, we can become distracted by the exhausting need to process the world’s past. Artist Mónica de Miranda reminds us that we must never lose our capacity to feel, contemplate and dream. She has created The Island, a non-linear series of photographs and film that considers the complex histories of Afrodiasporic lives and Portugal's colonial past. De Miranda's island is a metaphorical space of refuge, where history can be reflected upon for the benefit of new and future understandings.

This limited edition features a hardcover photography book containing a print of de Miranda's work Whistle for the Wind (2021), which featured prominently in her acclaimed exhibition at Autograph. The book includes a foreword by Professor Mark Sealy, photographs from The Island, exhibition views, film stills and an interview between the artist and Rénee Mussai.

This limited edition set contains a hardcover photography book containing a photographic print. Edition of 50.
