Miss SBarbie – A punk collective history about our messy bodies
Finalist 2024
THE PROJECT / Once upon a time dolls allowed little girls to imagine all sorts of worlds. Today there’s Morgana and her 137 Barbies, playmates of imagination and adventure. A universe that brings back to life long-forgotten parts of ourselves. An invitation to reclaim ownership over our bodies.
BIO / Miss SBarbie is the alter ego of Morgana Morandi. Morgana grew up in Bologna with a twin sister, both spending their childhood as avid Barbie players. After a degree in psychology and many years spent practicing rhythmic gymnastics, she studied circus at FLIC with aerial hoop as main discipline. Morgana is now as tall as 5 and 1/2 Barbies and weighs 200 Barbies.
As of now, the Miss SBarbie project includes Morgana, Franchina (the Barbie remote-controlled toy car and her driver), and a total of 137 Barbies.
