Lives and works in Berlin
Miriam Kilali attained her Master of Arts in “Art in Context” at UdK Berlin (Berlin University of the Arts) after completing a degree course in Fine Arts at UdK Berlin and the KHB (Kunsthochschule Berlin).
Kilali realises installations in public spaces as well as photographic works and participatory projects. Her work in the public sphere often deals with everyday issues. Miriam Kilali's work has been shown in a lot of national and international exhibitions. She also lectures at universities and congresses.
Little big changes
I make art to do more than simply provoke, increase awareness and sensitise. My art impacts thought patterns, breaking long-static structures and challenging how traditional images are perceived. This sort of art proves that change is possible by intervention, often when least expected. My motivation stems from the realisation that art has to intervene, move and change the status quo. This sort of art is, initially, a micro-structural one. I invite audiences on my invitations to “feel free to imitate”!
