Anna Pasco Bolta (she/her) was born in Barcelona in 1990. In her work she explores how life and existence are constructed through research intertwining art, science, and technology from an ecological and relational perspective. Her transdisciplinary work examines systems of coexistence and proposes co-creative ways of relating to other species, combining art theory, gastronomy, and performance to challenge Western dichotomies. She is currently part of the SAC-FiC program at Fabra i Coats Center (Barcelona) and collaborates with the Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC) and the Club Natació Atlètic-Barceloneta (CNAB).
Her practice involves situated artistic research and performance-lectures, including recent works like "Shapeshifting and Reworlding" at the Naturhistorisches Museum Wien (2025) and "Salt’s Longing" at LMU Munich’s Global Health Day (2025). Her work spans artistic, academic, and scientific fields, having been presented at the German Congress of Infections and Microbiology (2024), the Electromicrobiology Congress (Denmark, 2023), and the X-Festival (Belgium, 2023). This international career is defined by sustained collaborations with scientific institutions across Germany, Denmark, Belgium, and Spain.
For several years, she has combined research with teaching at the Chair of Fine Arts at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the Faculty of Arts of the Universitat de Barcelona, focusing on material ecologies and art–science methodologies. She holds a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona and the Akademie der Bildenden Künste München, graduating with honors. Her work has been exhibited at Haus der Kunst (2024), Gallery Herold (2025), Starnberg Museum (2025), Bienal Off Cairo (2023), Festival Speculum Artium (Slovenia, 2022), ISEA-Festival (2022), La Capella (2022), and Kunsthalle Kempten (2021).
