©2024 Paola Bascón
Paola Bascón is an artist working between London, La Paz and Berlin. She graduated from Communication Design and Media Art at the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design (HfG) in 2017 (Diplom/Masters) and is persuing an Art & Ecology MA (2023/24) at Goldsmiths University of London.
Her research explores the role of handcraft and oral traditions and their relationship to personal and collective memory. Paola’s visual and performative work engages with somatic and ritual-poetic practices as attempts to subvert modern-colonial narratives. Her work delves into different practices, from painting, ceramics, textiles, video, and sound, as well as participatory and pedagogical formats.
Paola has shown her work in international institutions and galleries such as Brücke Museum, PACT Zollverein, 80m2 Livia Benavides, South London Gallery, Barbican Centre, Spreepark Art Space, radialsystem, Kiosko Galería, Uferstudios, HAU Hebbel am Ufer, Alliance Française La Paz, Museo Nacional de Arte (MNA), among others.
