Ms. Marmara is especially good at unearthing ‘visual gold’ - […] unsung design elements, photo shoots or ads

Alexia Marmara is a (FR-UK based) researcher, curator, archivist and artist specialising in uncovering the uncelebrated. She focuses on stories that are left untold in an effort to correct bias in narratives within the history of art and culture. She centres the humanisation of archival objects in an effort to tell fragile stories. Her process defies the drawbacks in our institutionalised systems of remembering and collecting, prioritising breathing alternatives to our silencing modes of representation within historical research.

She is a recipient of the Jonathan Ruffer Curatorial Research Grant (ART FUND) for the inital chapter of the unearthing of a forgotten Mexican artist, Froylán Ojeda.
