Material researcher, transdisciplinary artist and educator, driven by curiosity, alchemical processes and the exploration of the territory. Resident at Hangar’s Wetlab, member of Manglar collective, part of S-Biotica’s material research laboratory, collaborator of FabLab Barcelona on educational projects, and creator of the Waste Warehouse, a project that promotes circular ecosystems through spaces for reflection and learning around the transformation of organic waste in Barcelona.
She has participated in various exhibitions and conferences at Ars Electronica, DHUB, Bio Summit, Bozar, and Kunstgewerbemuseum, and has received awards and grants to develop some of her projects, such as the Starts Prize Innovative Collaboration, Worth EU, Hangar-Barcelona Crea Practicable Grant, and funds from the Barcelona Metropolitan Area.
Her practice explores site-specific matter, waste flows, living organisms, regenerative ontologies, and multispecies ideologies. She investigates bodies, techniques and concepts that question and ferment a transdisciplinary approach on the margins of art and science. It focuses on the creation of materials from foraging and collecting, and exploring materiality as a living and active entity. It reflects on the scale of observation and probes the interaction between body and matter. It researches and fosters the exchange of knowledge, generating situated and critical methodological tools to broaden the perspective of what we consider matter, waste, ecology, and community, and ritualizing matter-making as a poetic and political practice.
To support and expand her exploratory nature, facilitates talks, workshops & seminars internationally, works on diverse research projects and as an educator at universities in Barcelona.
Inspired by textile storytelling, she graduated in Textile Design and took different courses to nurture her multidisciplinary approach. Among them are a diversity of craft techniques, anthropology, post-human & ecofeminist philosophies and herbalism. She delved into biodesign, digital manufacturing and sustainable technologies at Fabricademy, a postgraduate course at Fab Lab Barcelona.
