PAB OPEN 2024 presents Analía Beltrán I Janés
Analía Beltrán i Janés, Castellón, Spain, 1962, (she, her) is a performance artist based in Madrid. She teaches Performance Art and, since 2018, curates PEPA, a performance art event in Madrid and Mallorca. In her performances, she pursues simplicity, using ordinary objects but full of symbolic charge. She wants to provoke certain feelings, even in those who are not familiar with the artistic references used, but there is also a second level of reading for initiated people. Popular songs and tales are her inspiration. Her performances focus on her own identity, her social circumstances, especially gender issues and catholic education.
