Born in 1965 in Kleve, Germany, Barbara Schroeder lives and works in Teuillac.
Since the 2000s, she has been exploring rural life and the connection between humans and nature. Her installations, sculptures, paintings, and performances are regularly presented in France and internationally (South Africa, Germany, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Guatemala, etc.) through group and solo exhibitions. Her work is featured in both art institutions and heritage sites outside the conventional contemporary art scene.
With a master’s degree in visual arts and a DEA from the University of Bordeaux Montaigne, Barbara Schroeder enriches her practice through artist residencies, as well as through collaborations with farmers, scientists, writers, and chefs. She also places great importance on involving local residents in her projects.
Winner of the Ulrich Rampp Foundation’s 2024 Art & Nature Prize and the Charles Oulmont Foundation’s 2025 Visual Arts Prize, she also received the AIC grant from the DRAC Nouvelle-Aquitaine in 2021 and a production grant from the Frac Nouvelle-Aquitaine MÉCA in 2020. In 2026, she participated in the Voyage à Nantes.
Her work has been the subject of critical and literary essays by Julie Crenn, Pauline Lisowski, Alice Cavender, Claire Jacquet, Didier Arnaudet, Stéphan Lévy-Kuentz, Robert Coustet, and Michel Butor.
