BIO

Pablo Ramírez González is a visual artist currently based in Wrocław, Poland where he is a  Ph.D. candidate at the Doctoral School in the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design.   

Pablo has focused his practice on exploring forms of collectivity, public space, alternative pedagogies, and decolonialism. He is a member of the collective Los Salvajes and founder of Alquimia Social, an ongoing process of collaboration with marginalized communities, that creates counter spaces of collective knowledge.  

His recent research investigates the possibilities of collaboration between species through the exercise of radical empathy inspired by the indigenous practices of deep listening to plants and the process of weaving networks of sound. 

His art practice focuses on research-based projects where he uses real-life situations, archives, electric networks, organisms, and materials to build up sites, installations, and ephemeral constructions. His working methods are rooted in decolonial archeology, which often confronts historical and sociopolitical contexts and aims to deconstruct the official narratives through the influence of indigenous thought and contemporary non-human-oriented cosmologies. 

His work assumes art research as a critical practice for rethinking reality through radical imagination and empathy. Often challenging the relations of knowledge-power from the perspective of the epistemologies of the south, questioning the violence and hierarchies that are established with “the other”- human, non-human, plant, or animal- and their multiplicity of agencies. 

The outcomes of his works range from social collaboration and pedagogical interventions, through archeological fantasies, shamanic digital and immersive environments to entomologic cataclysmic dioramas.
