Adela Goldbard is a transdisciplinary artist, scholar, and educator who believes in art’s potential to generate critical thinking and social transformation. She studied Hispanic Language and Literature at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (abbreviated as UNAM in Spanish) and a master’s degree in Sculpture at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). Her artistic research is informed by social sciences and literature, and her practice combines sculpture, video, photography, sound, text, textiles, immersive installations, and pyrotechnic performances.
Goldbard’s artistic career has aligned with her research on the development of the poetics of violence and decolonial methods for artistic practice. One of her main interests is the potential to generate critical thinking and social transformation from the construction, staging, and collective destruction of structures of power and consumption. Throughout her career, she has worked with different formats: sculpture, installation, intervention, photography, and video. Her work has been exhibited individually and collectively in Germany, Argentina, Spain, the United States, the Philippines, Holland, Hungary, Mexico, and Russia.
