Moira McIver is a lecturer in Fine Art teaching photography and video on the BA honours Fine Art course, Belfast School of Art, Ulster University. She graduated with a Master of Philosophy degree from the University of Ulster in 1996.
Moira McIver’s photographic and video art projects are often based on historical events and the interplay between mainstream perspectives and individual’s experience and recollection. Projects have included subjects such as: The Second World War, female sailors in the 18th and 19th century, an Irish female heroine in the 1798 rebellion in County Down. N. Ireland. She researches first-hand accounts and popular local myths and stories to explore overlooked and under-represented view-points. McIver works across a range of digital and analogue lens-based media in order to explore how our sense of the physical remains vital to our perception and interpretation of history. The artwork is often exhibited as lens-based installations using video, photography and sound. Her artwork has been exhibited nationally and internationally.
