BIO
Michelle Moore is a multidisciplinary artist whose work examines the narratives that shape identity, history, and belonging. Through painting, photography, digital media, typography, silkscreen, collage, and found objects, she explores how stories are constructed, preserved, and sometimes erased.
As a Jewish artist in the diaspora, Moore’s perspective is shaped by a family history of displacement—from Spain to Morocco and later French Algeria. Her work draws from these histories of exile and inherited memory while examining agency, identity, antisemitism, feminism, and the complexities of belonging.
Moore bears witness to the time in which she lives, using art as a form of documentation and inquiry. Her practice investigates how cultural narratives, political messaging, and systems of representation influence what societies remember, accept, and overlook.
For Moore, art is a way of preserving memory, questioning accepted narratives, and creating space for histories and experiences that risk being distorted or forgotten.

STATEMENT
Who gets to tell our stories? Who decides which histories are remembered, rewritten, or erased?
My work examines how narratives shape identity, history, and belonging—and how those narratives influence what we believe about ourselves and others. As a Jewish artist in the diaspora, my perspective is shaped by a family history of displacement, from Spain to Morocco and later French Algeria. Exile and inherited memory inform my exploration of identity, belonging, and the stories that survive across generations.
Working across painting, photography, digital media, typography, silkscreen, collage, and found objects, I create work that bears witness to the present while questioning the forces that shape collective understanding. My practice explores agency, identity, displacement, and power: who is represented, who is defined by others, whose histories are preserved, and whose are erased.
In a time when media, algorithms, and political narratives increasingly shape perception, my work examines how beliefs are formed and how repetition can transform assumptions into accepted truths. For me, art is a form of documentation and preservation—a way to record the moment from within it and ensure that complex histories and lived experiences cannot be easily simplified or forgotten.
