Mónica de Miranda

RPS Award for Achievement in the Art of Moving Image 2025 in recognition of sustained excellence or a notable achievement in photography or moving image.

Mónica de Miranda is a Portuguese/Angolan visual artist, filmmaker, and researcher known for her interdisciplinary approach.

Blurring the boundaries between documentary and fiction, she investigates strategies of resistance, geographies of affection, storytelling, and ecologies of care. Mónica represented the Portugal Pavilion at the 2024 60th Venice Biennale, with the project Greenhouse.

Her art has been showcased at renowned international events including the 16th Sharjah Biennial, the Lubumbashi Biennale, Berlin Biennale, Dakar Biennial, Casablanca Biennale, Bamako Encounters, Venice Architecture Biennale, BIENALSUR, and Houston FotoFest. Notable exhibitions have taken place at esteemed venues such as CAIXA Cultural, Bildmuseet,  Kadist Art Foundation, Gulbenkian, MUCEM; AfricaMusem, MAAT, Barbican, Autograph, MNAC, and the Camões Cultural Institute.
