Jara Rocha

Jara Rocha works across the situated and complex forms of distribution of the technological, with an enby, antifa and trans*feminist sensibility. They tend to find themselves in tasks of remediation, edition, action-research and in(ter)dependent curatorship. Their main experimentation areas have to do with contemporary semiotic-material conditions of possibility. With Femke Snelting they published "Volumetric Regimes: Material Cultures of Quantified Presence" (Open Humanities Press, 2022), and also together with Helen V. Pritchard they work on the projects The Underground Division and Queering Damage. With Karl Moubarak and Cristina Cochior they form the Cell for Digital Discomfort (BAK fellowship 21-22). Jara is an associate member of The Institute for Technology in the Public Interest. They live in Barcelona, where they teach at EINA and ESCAC and hold the 2023 Fellowship by Hangar/La Virreina with a project called LaaS (Life as a Service). They are part of the curatorial board at La Capella and their show “Naturoculturas son disturbios” emits erratically from local Dublab radio.
