Diane Giraud

As a self-taught multidisciplinary artist from Paris with a multicultural heritage (Vietnamese, Greek and French), Diane Giraud built her artistic foundation as a trained fashion designer, mentored by Savile Row tailors and working in the couture ateliers of designers like Alexander McQueen. Now based in Lisbon, she is focusing on interdisciplinary site-specific installations and participatory performances that incorporate visual arts, sound, video, text and conversations. Her work interrogates the multidimensionality of human existence, prompting questions about time, language and freedom. Her collaborations include institutions such as Culturgest, National Museum of Natural History and Science, PADA Studios and the Roman Theatre Museum of Lisbon, having been supported by Lisbon City Council, Portuguese Ministry of Culture and Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.
