Biography
Ricardo Miranda Zuniga grew up between Nicaragua, the country that both
his parents are from where he spent his childhood summers, and San Francisco,
the city to which his parents immigrated. Although his formal education
has been within the borders of the United States, his personal perspectives
and ideology have been molded by a bicultural reality, a reality consisting
of such polar elements as Disneyland and the Nicaraguan Leftist Revolutionary
movement, led by the Sanidinistas. This bicultural upbringing tied to
a multidisciplinary education has led to a practice that attempts to cultivate
interaction with the viewer beyond passive contemplation. The principle
behind the work is communication as a creative process.
Over the last four years Ricardo has explored a number of themes such
as urbanization, immigration, and the location of culture. Each theme
is investigated through the lens of economics - in order to present a
critical perspective of how economic realities formulate not only the
world we live in, but more importantly the lives we lead.
