blanca arias (ella/elle) is an artist, researcher, witch and lesbian, committed to love and critique. Born in Barcelona in 1998 under the sign of scorpio, she feels especially responsible for the creation of creative networks for worlds that can be experienced more fully by all bodies. Some of her recurring lines of work are the exploration of femininity as resistance, her link with vulnerability, myth as a point for flight and intimacy, or anti-normative knowledge circuits with regards to witchery. She graduated in Art History from the University of Barcelona and is currently studying a Master’s Degree in Comparative Literature, Art and Thought at Pompeu Fabra University.
Anna Dot is an artist and PhD in Translation by the University of Vic (2019). She combines artistic research with teaching at BAU, and is also a member of the directive team at the School of Arts of Torelló. Her work, represented by Bombon Projects in Barcelona, is centred on the study of translation and communicative acts, putting the focus on the processes of reading and writing beyond linguistic limits. The processes and materials with which she works depend on the ideas that she is working at every moment. Her link to the notion of walking as an artistic practice, which is worked by collectives like Deriva Mussol, from Vic, or the projects like Grand Tour, by Nau Coclea, is evidenced by some of Dot’s projects, such as her intervention at the Walter Benjamin Route 2016, her performance at Bianyal 2017, the interventions for the program “Naturalesa no és paisatge – Escenes erràtiques” at ARBAR in the summer 2020, or the series of routes “Octavianes”, initiated collectively and still in the process of being realised.
