Maria Miranda is a DECRA Research fellow at Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne. In 2013 she was awarded a 3-year research fellowship from the Australian Research Council (DECRA) for the project, "The Cultural Economy of Artist-Run Initiatives in Australia". The research focuses on artist's experiences of working in this sector and asks: what role do artist-run initiatives play in artists' lives?
