Meteorologías Colectivas

Research group

Meteorologías Colectivas (Collective Meteorologies) proposes an intimate process of viscous porosity, a collective rearticulation, a search for relational space that accommodates us. It takes the expanded framework of artistic research as a careful and courageous space where we can consider the assemblages of which we are a part and reflect on our practices when participating in a group, in what conditions and climates we want to sustain and generate, and in what way.

Throughout 2025, we collectively explored the implications and intersections of social neo-Darwinism and evolution through competition, of power and the management of roles, of imaginaries that decolonise the paradigm of the individual and collective, as well as group agreements as a methodology for intervention in climates.

In this phase, and in a non-linear editorial process throughout 2026, the project focuses on the development and materialisation of an artistic device-object of institutional prescription based on prior research and in conversation and collaboration with situated agents. A toolbox, an accessible and practical device for organisational usability that exercises shared institutional practices.

They have shared weather, microorganisms and knowledge; they have affected and been affected by this meteorological process:

Biography:

Sonia Villar is an artist who researches metabolic poetics. She tends to pay attention to transformations and to believe that art and science can be the same thing, engaging with the inevitability of eating, fermenting, dying, and relating, through processes and situations in which the continuum of non-linear relationships between the environment, organisms, and atmospheric conditions materialises. An artistic research resident at La Escocesa (2021-2026) and part of the Meteorologías Colectivas research group (2025-present) at the Santa Mònica, she has fluctuated in the composition of the DU-DA organisms (2019-2021), the eemeemee mycological network (2020-2022), the Santa Mònica Gastronomy Guild (2021-2023) and the cor-pus group (2020-2023). She has developed and presented projects and situations in places such as HAC_R Creativo (Zaragoza), the Social Muscle Club Fest (Berlin), the Kunstverein München (Munich), EINA (Zaragoza), HB55 - Räume der Kunst (Berlin), Abteilung für Alles Andere (Berlin), Fabra i Coats (Barcelona), Sala d'Art Jove (Barcelona), Hangar (Barcelona), Graner (Barcelona), MACBA (Barcelona), CCCB (Barcelona), ACVIC (Vic), the Santa Mònica (Barcelona), La Escocesa (Barcelona), IDRA (Barcelona), Fabriquem Arts (Ripollet) and the Castell de Montjuïc (Barcelona). She is currently training in group facilitation at IIFACe and is part of Vidalia, an intentional community based on cooperation, connection and transformation in Berguedà.
