Rosa Parma

Bilbao. Lives and works in Brooklyn

Rosa Parma’s artistic work uses graphic drawing and silk-screen printing as a means of creating and inhabiting alternative spaces of artistic production, collaboration, and exhibition. Parma’s body of work includes drawings, t-shirt prototypes and editions, independent fanzines, installations, and site-specific artworks. Her interests come from expressions of popular culture, the subcultural spaces they inhabit, and fluid forms of gender and sexuality.

Parma was the founder of Espacio Puerta, an independent artist-run space that hosted exhibitions, workshops, video programs, screenings, public presentations, and debates. Along with Laura Fernández Conde, she also co-founded T-festa, an independent platform providing the opportunity for artist to produce new work using t-shirts as support. T-festa has hosted three festivals to date, and continues on-going programs of collaboration with artists
