Andrea González Garrán is currently engaged in research exploring an historical failed plan for a transnational infrastructure connecting The Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, and France.
Her investigation delves into the project's relationship with the geopolitical developments of Europe and its connections to colonialism from 1600 to 1900.
In addition, she is a resident researcher at Radio Relativa, where she focuses on studying the circular urban highway M-30. Her research examines the highway's interplay with the politics and urban development of Madrid over the past century.
Furthermore, she co-hosts the radio show Vampires Can't Have Anything, on vampires in contemporary visual culture, at Ja Ja Ja Nee Nee Nee.
Andrea González Garrán is facilitator and initiator of several platforms.
She is a co-founder of Home Cinema, a platform dedicated to screening and streaming art films. In this role, she actively curates film programs and organises experimental screenings, with the current research focus of Home Cinema revolving around Dreams.
She is a regular contributor at Ja Ja Ja Nee Nee Nee, an online radio platform dedicated to the arts. Within this capacity, she regularly hosts shows that center around contemporary visual arts, collaborating with organisations such as Sonic Acts, Rozenstraat, and the Rietveld Academy.
As a member of fanfare Amsterdam, she contributes to curating and facilitating a public program that explores design and its intersections with visual arts and architecture.
