Artist Dialog Featuring Anne Yoncha
Saturday, December 6th · 6 PM (EST)
Virtual Session via Zoom RSVP
Hosted by Women Eco Artists Dialog (WEAD) in partnership with The 109 Gallery
Join us for this artist talk with interdisciplinary artist Anne Yoncha, whose work merges ecology, sound, and visual language through deep collaboration with nonhuman systems. Drawing from environmental data, biological processes, and field-based research, Yoncha’s practice reveals the living intelligence and agency of landscapes.
About the Artist
Anne Yoncha (US) is an interdisciplinary artist and Associate Professor of Art at Metropolitan State University Denver. Her practice blends ecological science with experimental art, working through bio-data sonification, environmental sensing, and analog processes such as making inks from locally sourced plant matter.
She earned her MFA from the University of Montana and later received a Fulbright Fellowship at the Natural Resources Institute Finland, where she collaborated with restoration scientists on art-science projects in former peat extraction sites. Yoncha’s ongoing research includes work with the HAB (High Altitude Bioprospecting) group to detect airborne microbes through field-based investigations in subarctic Lapland.
Through collaborations with plants, soil organisms, and atmospheric microbes, Yoncha creates visual and sonic compositions that function as “scores,” highlighting nonhuman agency and expanding how ecological systems can be perceived, interpreted, and performed.
