Violeta Ospina (Bogotá, 1986) is an interdisciplinary artist, performer and educator. She studied Fine Arts and a Master’s degree in Theatre and Live Arts (2011-2013) in Bogotá, with a scholarship from the National University of Colombia. After studying Sound art at the University of Barcelona (2015), she emigrated to Barcelona in 2014, where she committed a “sonorous suicide of the technological man” and founded an auction house for disappeared theaters in gentrified areas. In 2016 she joined the Ràdio Web MACBA group and co-founded the experimental collective Radio Cava-ret. Her work focuses on the estrangement and altered perception of urban objects, places and buildings, provoking temporary relations and situations mostly related with what is called “popular culture”, and their political implications. Some of her recent exhibitions and performances are: Trapitos al sol (Bar Project, Barcelona), 2021; Mutual aid monument, (El Born, Culture and Memory Center, Barcelona), 2020; So happy together & altres covers (Alalimón, Barcelona), 2020, among others. She has recently been awarded with La Escocesa’s Research and Art Experimentation Grant (2021) for the project: Memories of the factory diaspora.
