Melanie Ubaldo creates monuments to unbelonging. Her artistic practice constitutes an examination of profound intersectionality through autobiography. Her works are characterized by vulnerable autobiographical narratives surrounding racism, prejudice, power, and discrimination. Using diverse media, her large-scale installations address themes of home, memory, poverty, displacement, immigration, and identity. Despite their scale, her works simultaneously convey a delicate quality, mirroring the fragility and precariousness of their subject matter.

Melanie Ubaldo has exhibited work at The National Gallery of Iceland; Akureyri Art Museum; and Reykjavík Art Museum, all in Iceland, among others.
