Alba Acebes Macià Contemporary Art and Graphic Design

Alba Acebes Macià is a visual artist and graphic designer born in Madrid and currently based in Barcelona. Her multidisciplinary practice is rooted in artistic research that addresses the themes of tenderness, care, and collectivity. Alba Acebes Macià investigates these concepts primarily through the medium of self-publishing, treating the creation of zines and graphic works as a space of resistance and radical vulnerability. Her methodology often involves analog processes, such as drawing and stamping, to explore the intersections of interrelations and emotional knowledge. One of her central projects, Autoedició per a un món en crisi amorosa, exemplifies her commitment to exploring the experience of love as a source of knowledge and a collaborative effort. Alba Acebes Macià also participates in the collective Crying in the Taller, engaging with festivals and self-managed artistic spaces. Her work, ranging from installations like Para una subsistencia entre grietas to archival pieces like Autoproducción: Antropofagia, consistently prioritizes a gentle and reflective approach to the creative process, often incorporating performance and collective activations to challenge contemporary narratives of success and production.
