    Alice Miceli is a Brazilian visual artist and photographer whose work interrogates landscapes scarred by historical violence, environmental degradation, and conflict. Her practice combines investigative fieldwork with innovative photographic techniques to make visible hidden, intangible traumas. Her projects include the Chernobyl Project, in which she developed a radiographic method to visualize the residual radiation in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, and In Depth (minefields), a visual mapping of post–conflict terrains in Cambodia, Colombia, Bosnia, and Angola, exposing the latent dangers of landmines and other explosive remnants of war and conflict. Her work has been shown at the São Paulo and Istanbul Biennials, among others, and her awards include the PIPA Prize, the Cisneros–Fontanals Award, and residencies at MacDowell, Yaddo, and Djerassi. Miceli's interdisciplinary approach bridging art, history, and geopolitics continues to redefine narratives of memory, survival, and resilience in contested spaces. At the Clark, Miceli will research urban warfare, probing military strategies in cities transformed into battlefields.
