Gracia Ramirez is Acting Course Leader for BA (Hons) Film and Screen Studies at London College of Communication.
Gracia's research focuses on the intersections between aesthetics and histories of film and other arts. She has published a book on the history of American experimental and independent cinema during the Cold War and several articles on art and media in urban spaces, propaganda, the representation of history in news documentaries, found footage and essay films.
Gracia has carried out research at several archives and institutions in the U.S. and Europe. She writes art criticism, has collaborated with artists writing texts for exhibition catalogues and artist’s books, and keeps a creative practice using mixed media.
Her current interests are the connections between the Mediterranean and the Caribbean through locations, cinema and memory, and the role of images within historical narratives of colonialism.
Before joining London College of Communication, Gracia lectured at Edinburgh Napier University, Scotland, where she also supervised dissertations for MA students at the Screen Academy. At LCC she is a Senior Lecturer and has taught across a range of media and film studies degrees with a special focus on history, theory and critical analysis.
