Ana Paula Santana is Bemis Center’s Summer 2022 Sound Art + Experimental Music Artist-in-Residence. Her practice imagines and analyzes sound and other materials through anthropological phenomena. Prompted by using error, repetition, disruption and accumulation as creative tools, she pays close attention to how sound affects us in physical and psychological ways. Based in Guadalajara, she works in the fields of sound art, experimental music, interactive art, graphics, ceramics, video, and installation. She has been beneficiary of the FONCA Young Creators grant (2016, 2018) and recently obtained the Creators of Peace recognition from the Mexican government for Resilience project. Her work has been exhibited at the Zapopan Museum of Art, Oaxaca Museum of Contemporary Art, Ex Teresa Arte Actual, Museo del Chopo, among others; internationally she has exhibited her work in Spain, Switzerland, France, Italy, and Germany.
