Miro Spinelli is an artist, researcher, and resides between Brazil and New York. He is a doctoral candidate in Performance Studies at NYU, the same department where he completed his second master's degree. He also holds a master's degree in Philosophy from NYU and in Performing Arts from UFRJ. He works at the intersections of performance, writing, visual arts, and theory. His artistic and intellectual practice is engaged in anti-colonial strategies developed through a radical kinship with things, materials, and the invisibles produced in the relationships with and between them. His writings are published in the book "Janelas Abertas: conversas sobre arte política e vida" (ed. Cobogó, 2023), "Textes à lire à voix haute" (ed. Brook, 2022), and in the journals TDR - The Drama Review (Cambridge Press, 2021) and Poiésis (UFF, 2022), among others. Since 2014, he has been developing the performance series "gordura trans," a continued and serialized artistic project with a central focus on performance and developments in various media. In 2018, he initiated the installation series "tudo que você toca você muda tudo que você muda muda você." Among his other performance works are "Inventário" (2012), "Chupim Papers" (2017), "Reinventário" (2019), and "nossas vidas impossíveis de manifestam umas nas outras" (2019), as well as the experimental videos "poesia como método de pensamento prático experimental" (2022) and "mas então eu decidi nadar" (2021)
