Paula Bruna
Postdoctoral artistic researcher at the Botanical Institute of Barcelona (CSIC)
Artist and environmentalist, both professions have converged in her artistic projects in which she works on alternative narratives to the Anthropocene from non-human points of view, through a combination of scientific basis, speculative fiction and artistic practices. Her hypothesis is that exploring points of view other than the current anthropocentrism has significant effects on ecological awareness and opens up the range of possible forms of coexistence.
Bruna holds a PhD in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona (UB) with a thesis on Art and Political Ecology. She shares her research and artworks in conferences, publications, workshops, art events and exhibitions. Her artistic research has been supported by several grants. She has carried out national and international artistic residencies, with a special interest in those with an ecological focus. She is currently artist-in-residence at the creative factory La Escocesa (Barcelona).
