Estibaliz Sádaba Murguia

Estibaliz Sádaba Murguia is an artist with a PhD in Art and Research (EHU/UPV). She holds a scholarship from the Spanish Academy in Rome (2016 and 2018) and has exhibited at MUSAC, Fundación BBVA, Museo Lázaro Galdiano and Museo Thyssen. Her practice unites theory, art and feminist activism, generating spaces for dialogue and reflection. She conceives research as a processual and collaborative work that weaves links between projects and people in an attempt to create new narratives and ways of understanding contemporary culture. She is the co-founder of Erreakzioa-Reacción (1994), a pioneering initiative for the dissemination and teaching of feminist art and thought.

At Bogliasco, Estibaliz is looking to develop an artistic research that delves into the historical difficulty that women have faced, both in urban and rural environments, to inhabit public space. Using video, sound and performance art, she will seek to make visible how, through different actions, they took the floor and created spaces for reflection. This work amplifies their voices and recovers forgotten knowledge about care and its social impact.
