Miranda Pranoto

(1999)

MIRANDA PRANOTO (b. 1999) is an interdisciplinary Indonesian artist living and working in Bogor, Indonesia. Her works contemplate the realities of womanhood in the modern day. Through photography and painting, Miranda raises questions surrounding power, autonomy, and censorship. Drawing from personal memorabilia, pop culture and mass media, Pranoto’s works emerge as a blend of traditional realistic painting and contemporary photography. Her paintings fall between an intimate peek into a young woman’s camera roll, versus images we often see circulated in social media and newspapers alike. Who draws the line between the personal and political?
