Monika Aranda, from Pamplona (1976), holds university degrees in Gender, Territory, Affect, and Visual Arts. Her qualifications in Technical Architecture and Engineering continue to provide tools that engage with her artistic practice.
She develops her work from a contemporary perspective, within a research context. Through installations, she creates spaces that invite reflection and propose new forms of ecosocial transformation. In each project, she explores different artistic languages: intervention, installation, photography, audiovisual, painting, and performance.
Her career has been boosted by various residencies, grants, and institutional support. In the last year, she has received the PhotoEspaña Talent Grant, an artistic residency from Acción Cultural Española, a residency from Labea-Laboratory of Art and Science, and another international residency, “Nekatoenea,” in Hendaye, France. In previous years, she has received support from entities such as the La Caixa Foundation, the Caja Navarra Foundation, and the Government of Navarre, among others.
His projects have been invited to be exhibited in centers such as Tabakalera, Matadero, Europalia (Brussels), Museum of Navarra and Fabra i coats: Creation Factory.
