Barbora Fastrová is a visual artist based in Prague. She originally studied photography at UMPRUM, but her practice has since expanded to include sculpture, installation, and drawing. Her work focuses on themes of materiality, transformation, and sustainability, with an emphasis on waste and recycled materials, particularly textile waste, which has become a key element of her current practice. Since 2014, she has been collaborating with Johana Pošová; together they have realized projects such as Gris Gris (GfZK Leipzig) and Brother (Syntax, Lisbon), and in 2018 they initiated the Cheap Art project, which addressed the topic of sustainability in an institutional context. In 2022, she participated in the Flower Union project as part of the Czech Presidency of the Council of the EU. At the same time, she develops her solo work and participates in international residencies. Her work intersects with ecological art and ecofeminism, and she views sustainability as a fundamental principle of her practice.
