Miu Miu stages ‘Tales & Tellers' installation/performance project in New York
Miu Miu's 'Tales & Tellers' project was presented at the Terminal Warehouse in New York on May 10-11. 'Tales & Tellers' sits at the intersection of fashion, cinema and art, and is a site-specific installation and performance event inspired by the Miu Miu Women's Tales film project, and by the artistic elements featured in the Miu Miu runway shows held between the Spring/Summer 2022 and 2025 seasons. All of these events were developed with female creatives at their heart. 'Tales & Tellers' was originally conceived by Miuccia Prada as a constantly evolving project. It has been developed by multi-disciplinary artist Goshka Macuga and convened by Elvira Dyangani Ose, director of the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (Macba), Barcelona's contemporary art museum. The project blends different narratives and perspectives to explore the notion of femininity's constant transformation. It premièred in Paris in October 2024, and its second iteration was presented in New York on May 10-11. 'Tales & Tellers' is based on the concept of narration as a way to convey knowledge, and the notion that the storytellers are just as important as their stories' content. The project combines physical installations, videos and live performances. A single character is extrapolated from the artistic interventions at past Miu Miu runway shows, and from each of the films in the Women's Tales series created by Miu Miu since 2011, and the character's actions are reinterpreted by an actor, with the original video screened in parallel. The presentation is a collaboration between Macuga, Dyangani Ose and theatre and opera director Fabio Cherstich, and included 36 performances, drawn from seven artistic interventions and the 29 films of Miu Miu's Women's Tales.
