Petra Malá Miller was born in former Czechoslovakia and grew up in Blatnice, a village in southern Moravia. Her photographic work explores the poetics of childhood, of innocence, ageing, memory and loss and raises questions surrounding representation, cultural identity, the individual, the family and the community.
Petra Malá Miller earned her MFA from the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague (2008). In 2009, she received the ESSL Museum Award for Contemporary Art, Klosterneuburg, Vienna. She received Alberta Foundation for the Arts awards for her photography and is represented in the AFA’s Art Collection. Petra Malá Miller lives and works in Lethbridge and will soon relocate to the Maritimes. The artist is currently preparing “Living in the Zone”, a large-scale project that explores the aftermath of Chernobyl and its effects on the children of Belarus.
