Bio

Her artistic practice focuses on the intersection between art and ecology. In 2022, she conceived and founded the collective Tornen les Esquelles, which takes an ecofeminist and non-extractive design approach to the creation of contemporary textile art with local wool, exploring the relationship between livestock culture, public policies and artistic practices.

She has been the artistic director of the exhibition "Placenta" at the Aurèlia Muñoz Aerial Workshop (Grau-Garriga Gallery, 2023) and "Pastoral Futures: The Migrations of Wool" (MATERFAD and Barcelona Design Museum, 2023). She is co-author of the book Diari de Camp (2022), which documents Tornen les Esquelles' experience in the Lab Collserola project (EINA Work, 2022). Within the framework of the Manifesta 15 Biennial, she continued with the artistic direction of the projects "Banquet per Collserola" (Torre Negra, Sant Cugat, 2023) and "CALL" (Three Chimneys, Sant Adrià, 2024).

Project

Prior to the residency at Faberllull Olot, Ana will partner with Prem Puig, a shepherd from Mieres, on working with the wool from his flock. The project will explore how wool can be used in contemporary artistic practices and investigate its role in agroecological systems. Together they will make a felt piece to be embroidered collectively. Through this experience, Ana and Prem seek to strengthen the link between textile art and the local livestock culture, opening up new possibilities for future collaborations.
