Bio

Paloma Barhaugh-Bordas (they/them) is an artist, educator, and activist living and working in on the traditional lands of the Alabama-Coushatta, Caddo, Carrizo/Comecrudo, Coahuiltecan, Comanche, Kickapoo, Lipan Apache, Tonkawa and Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo (Austin, TX).

Barhaugh-Bordas’s art practice—which expands from print media into installation, as well as social and collaborative practices—works at the intersection of migration, queerness, and ecology. While thinking-through-making, Barhaugh-Bordas asks how art can contribute to ecological knowledge and build interspecies understanding, an inquiry they began investigating by comparing the stories of naturalization—becoming local—between Americans and non-native plants. Barhaugh-Bordas has exhibited nationally and internationally including solo exhibitions at the Printshop LA Gallery, Handwerker Gallery, Buffalo Artists Studios, and Sediment Arts. Artist residencies include Casa Lu Mexico City, ACRE, Women’s Studio Workshop, the Institute for Electronic Arts at Alfred University, MI-Lab in Japan, and Kala Art Institute.
