Stephanie Misa

Born in Cebu City, Philippines, Stephanie Misa lives in Vienna, Austria where she graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in 2012 in Performative Arts & Sculpture with Prof. Monica Bonvicini.
She has a masters from the Interactive Telecommunications Program, Tisch School of the Arts, New York University. She is currently an adjuct lecturer (Art Theory and Artistic Research) at the University of Arts Helsinki.

Her work consistently displays an interest in complex and diverse histories, relating to these topics through her video work, sculpture, installations, prints, and through her writing. Her current artistic research looks at the persistence of languages relegated to its oral form, and the activation of this “orality” outside the usual educational modes of instruction— its evolution, cannibalism, appropriation of terms, and creative becomings.

During the fellowship she curated the exhibition “Under the Sun” with works by Julia Goodman, Martin Martinsen and Stephanie Misa, which was shown at the Pinacoteca in January 2016.
