Esther Ferrer

A major figure in performance art since the second half of the twentieth century, Esther Ferrer (born 1937 in San Sebastián) has developed a body of work deeply connected to experimentation and freedom, from the years of the ZAJ group to the present day. Her trajectory—marked by the Spanish Civil War, Franco's dictatorship and the protest movements of the 1970s—has shaped an artistic practice attentive both to forms of domination and to spaces of emancipation.
