Josefina Paz
Multidisciplinary artist
I yearn to first-hand learn about the ancient wisdom around sound and textile practices, for their potential in addressing interconnection and interrelation, and to connect with community both on an artistic and human level. Having the time to explore, observe, and learn about the cultural context will allow me to do so while giving me the opportunity to strengthen my current practice and develop new works.
Josefina Paz (El Salvador/France) draws on sign systems such as cartography, music, and writing to move towards the idea of relation. Working through a variety of media such as drawing, textiles, sound, installation, and performance, she reflects on the tensions between border-territory and identity-migration. She is laureate of the Singapore Art Museum Residency (SAMres), the 68th edition of the Salon de Montrouge, the “Inhabiting the Desert” Residency at Villa Albertine, and the Networking Ecological Smart Territories research grant. Her work has been showcased in France, Germany, Spain, The United States, Guatemala, El Salvador and Costa Rica.
