Paula Bruna IN RESiDENCE at the School Vapor del Fil

https://paulabruna.com/

Paula Bruna (Barcelona, 1978) is an artist and environmentalist (she works in managing the natural environment and environmental policies). These two professions have converged in her artistic projects, in which she studies the interaction between society and the ecological environment it is in. She is currently studying alternative narratives to the Anthropocene, from non-human points of view, through a combination of science, fiction and art.

Paula Bruna carries out her artistic research on art and ecological policies as part of her doctorate in Advanced Studies In Artistic Research at the University of Barcelona. She shares the results of this research in congresses, publications (BRAC - Barcelona Research Art Creation, Ecología Política), workshops on art and ecology (Hangar, La Escocesa, Calafou, Centre del Carme de Cultura Contemporània, UAB, etc.) and events and exhibitions (Arts Santa Mònica, Kunstraum Lakeside, CCCB and CAN Farrera, among others). She obtained a Guasch-Coranty scholarship for artistic creation for 2018-2019, and a La Escocesa research and experimentation grant in 2019. She is a resident artist at La Escocesa and was previously a short (2017) and long-term resident (2018-2020) artist at Hangar.
