Kledia Spiro is a multimedia, interdisciplinary artist, creating immersive videos, performances, and installations. Spiro was born in Albania and trained with an Olympic weightlifting team. She uses strength and weightlifting as a symbol of survival, empowerment, and celebration in her art practice. Weightlifting becomes a vehicle for discussing women’s role in society, immigration, and times of war. Spiro is a member of the Kingston Gallery in Boston, Massachusetts.
Spiro’s work has been featured internationally at Stratosphere, NFT Art Week Beijing, in addition to national exhibitions at the SAIC Sullivan Galleries, Chicago, Museum of Art, University of New Hampshire, Satellite Art Show, Miami Art Week, and the ProArts Gallery in Oakland, California. Spiro’s video-performance “Which Way” was featured in Times Square for NFT.NYC 2023. Spiro has performed in New York at the Queens Museum, Grace Exhibition Space, Rosekill, Panoply Performance Lab, Java Studios and Le Petit Versailles. Her Boston performances include the Museum of Fine Arts, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Mobius, Piano Craft Gallery, Bau Haus, Tufts University, and the New England Conservatory. Spiro received her MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and Tufts University. She is currently a Post Graduate Teaching Fellow at Northeastern University.
