Artist Anna Hoetjes profile picture. Copyright: Anne Hoetjes -
Anna Hoetjes is a visual artist based in Amsterdam. She works with video, installation, collaborative performances and lectures, often translating scientific datasets into tangible and tactile experiences. With her projects she aims to make visible the cultural foundations on which contemporary Western science was built, and how many valuable knowledge systems were cast aside in that process. By replacing dominant scientific narratives with speculative alternatives, especially focusing on space science and sci-fi, she imagines a history/present/future where womxn, non-colonial and non-human perspectives have been equally foundational in our understanding of science.
Hoetjes was the most recent artist in residence at the European Space Agency. She studied Fine Art and Video at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, the Cooper Union in New York and the UdK in Berlin. She got her Master of Fine Arts at the Dutch Art Institute in the Netherlands.
