Vica Pacheco

Ana Victoria Pacheco (b. 1993, Oaxaca). Lives and works in Brussels. Her practice is rooted in experimental music and composition, also using ceramic and 3D animation. Her work, often described as eclectic and energetic, draws inspiration from mythological crossbreeding, prehispanic technologies and interactions between human and non-human. In a syncretic way, she combines heterogeneous or fortuitous elements like ceramics to produce her sound performances and installations. She studied at La Esmeralda in CDMX before graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Villa Arson in France in 2017. She has performed with her own instruments in numerous international festivals, galleries and institutions such as: PEANA hosted by Public Gallery for the 2024 edition of Condo in London, UK; Sólida, Oaxaca, MX; Gaudeamus Festival, Utrecht, NL; Galerie Nordenhake, CDMX, MX; Hacer Noche, Oaxaca, MX; Amare, The Hague, NL. She has participated in residencies such as iii (instruments inventors initiative) at the Hague, NL; and EKWC in Oisterwijk, NL. ...
