Mihaela Coman

is profoundly concerned about silence, with a focus on how female bodies, societal perceptions, and behaviours are affected by it, advocating for a new approach to recovering gaze and visual attentivity. With a BA in Romanian and Spanish Language and Literature, she is focusing on her MA thesis in Visual Cultural Studies (CESI) at the University of Bucharest. Her research stems from traumatic silence, and it extends into tranzactive silence and incorpor(e)alization, two concepts she proposes for artistic visual forces, sensations and body figurability. She is also exploring spectrality, transgenerational trauma transfer and prosthetic memory through an analytic body of works from literature, photography, painting, film and theatre.
