Selected artists
Anna Ferrer and Valeria Mata, both daughters of bakers, propose a common space to train a story with their voices, their hands and archival materials. Thinking with bread, they recreate memories and imagine possible worlds from the sensoryity of a trade that accompanies them from childhood. “To be born with the bread under the arm”, to be body by body with the dough and to have grown up in a workshop modelled the way in which they relate to music and anthropology. For them, these practices only find their purpose when they are able to nourish and offer themselves in the same way that bread does.
Anna Ferrer (Menorca, 1993) sings, composes and breaks down songs from other times. Take care of and spike the popular root song by demystifying it and making it universal. This is how their music is inspired by tradition, while they evolve towards their own sounds crossed by synthesizers.
Valeria Mata is a researcher and social anthropologist trained in Madrid, Mexico City and London. Her research addresses the links between art and anthropology, travel and food culture. Between 2015 and 2019 he directed MUEVE, a traveling library of Latin American publications. She is the author of Plagie, copie, manipule, robe, reescriba este libro (2018) and Todo lo que se mueve (2020).
