Anna 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 science fiction, she imagines a history/present/future where womxn, non-colonial and non-human perspectives have been equally foundational in our understanding of science. Her work was shown amongst others at Fosun Foundation Shanghai, 2023, EPFL Pavilions Lausanne, 2022, TENT Rotterdam, 2021, and Bonniers Konsthall Stockholm, 2020.

Together with Müge Yilmaz she initiated the Intersectional Feminist Science fiction Exchange, a project that aims to bring together a community of womxn, inserting their visions into the future at the intersection of literature and visual art.
