About the artist

Through writing, photography and research, Morón looks critically at the systems in which narratives and family histories are told and recorded, focusing on themes such as identity and self-representation. In the IDENTITIES exhibition Morón shows work in which she further explores her family histories. Her work deals with how they fled rising antisemitism in 20th century Europe and ended up in a colonial society. Rachel Morón gained her photography BA at Utrecht’s Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in 2017 and is currently studying for her MA at the Eindhoven Design Academy’s Design Curating and Writing programme
