Nathalie Miraval is a PhD Candidate in the Art History Department at Yale University. Her research focuses on the spiritual expressive cultures of the early modern Afro-Iberian Atlantic, with a focus on gender and race. Her dissertation, tentatively titled “Sacred Subversions: Martha, Monsters, and Domestic Devotion in the Early Modern Afro-Iberian Atlantic,” uses inquisition archives to study the material, visual, and performative aspects of Black women’s transatlantic spiritual networks. She is the 2024–2026 Andrew W. Mellon Fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts.
