Miguel Sbastida
1989, Madrid, Spain
Miguel Sbastida is a transdisciplinary visual artist and independent researcher working across installation, situated performance and video, in an investigation around the intersections of cultural ecology, geologic phenomena and climate breakdown.
Departing from a synergy of influences ranging from the natural sciences to the post-humanities, environmental activism and post-colonial studies, his works perform an interrogation of anthropocentric cosmologies within the context of contemporary nature-cultures.
Through a highly conceptual process that understands art-making as an entry point for epistemological analysis and social transformation, his works seek to generate spaces for critical reflection around concepts of sustainability, and to provide new perspectives of belonging, cross-contamination and mutuality in our relationship with the Earth Organism.
