Alba Casas is a multidisciplinary artist and pre-PhD researcher based in Galicia, Spain. They were born in As Neves, a village located on the misty border with Portugal. Deeply connected to the territory, growing up queer in a rural landscape marked by political, social, and geographical frontiers would come to shape their path. Living in between has nurtured Alba’s ability to cross disciplines, concepts, and geographies, leading to a hybrid practice that dissolves traditional limits.
«The BONFIRE Online Artist Residency allowed me to connect with a caring, generous community. I found a safe space to share, exchange, and grow. I learned to place my artistic practice at the center, seeing it with more tenderness and value. Above all, I gained the confidence and clarity to dedicate myself fully to art».
