Miranda Florence Hill

I am a cultural producer from London, based in Berlin. My practice explores relationships between place, ecology, care and the built environment, and how these shape the ways we understand and inhabit the world. I work across curating, research and writing, and develop collaborative projects through exhibitions, public programmes, site-specific projects and participatory events.  I prioritise interdisciplinary collaborations where different languages and ways of working meet, merge and collide.

For the past two years, I led programming at the artist-led organisation Art Gene in Barrow-in-Furness, working across site-specific installations, public art, exhibitions and community projects focused on sustainability, heritage, place and ecology. I am now Associate Curator at Art Gene, where I continue to work on a project basis.

My curatorial approach is grounded in site-responsive, material-led practices and hands-on processes of making. I am inspired by post-natural landscapes where human, ecological, social and industrial histories intersect. I am interested in finding ways to listen and learn from other ecologies, to challenge human-centered perspectives and reveal the often invisible systems of care and interdependence that sustain our shared environments. My experience working in care has informed this approach and shaped my understanding of care as a practice of listening, attention and reciprocity. 

I studied History of Art at the University of Manchester and completed an MA in Curating Contemporary Art at the Royal College of Art.

Created for Midsummer Mourama - two lakeside dwellings positioned at the threshold of land and water, where the 'Enchanted Moura' awaken and guide us through moments of transition. Designed by Cella Collective, La Cuarta Piel and Public House.
The Transitional Botijos were created for the Midsummer Mouramas, a series of lakeside dwellings where the Enchanted Moura sleep, mythical beings said to guard the threshold between land and water, designed and built by Cella Collective, Public House and La Cuarta Piel.

The hanging Botijo is a traditional cooling system and vessel made of porous clay; the botijo holds water, cools the water, and bathes visitors. Suspended within the lakeside structures, the two botijos guided the transition between land and water, serving as both functional water vessels and symbolic objects of transformation. Their form was inspired by the chrysalis as an archetype of transformation. As the clay cooled the water, the vessels invited visitors to pause, wash, and interact with one another, creating a ritual of refreshment and exchange at the threshold between land and water.
