TULCA is pleased to present an exhibition of the works by Thaís Muniz at ATU Galway Wellpark Road Library.

Thaís Muniz is a Brazilian-Irish visual artist working across multiple mediums to explore the intersections of inherited and acquired identities, memory, transit, and Bell Hooks’ concept of inward love as a methodology of radical self-care. She creates intimate and collective spaces through the practice of film, performance, workshops, sculpture and print, responding to the geopolitics of place.

Muniz’s work engages with the reimagination of realities by employing mechanisms of refusal, education, dreaming, and personal magic. She examines representations of ‘otherness’ through the experiences of global majority communities and displacement within postcolonial contexts. Her practice emerges from an urgent need to challenge the status quo, honouring identities and histories while building bridges and opening cross-cultural conversations.

Muniz’s ongoing body of work, New Atlantic Triangulations, uses embodied cosmovisions, shaped by her Yoruba and Bantu heritage and her experience as a Brazilian woman with Irish citizenship, to explore themes of displacement, joy, and mental health. It proposes new languages, new worlds, and shared spaces of reimagination.

Muniz holds an MA in Art + Research Collaboration from IADT, Dublin. Her work has been exhibited at the Irish Museum of Modern Art, Sirius Arts Centre and Luan Gallery, Fowler Museum in Los Angeles, and A Gentil Carioca, in Rio de Janeiro.
