About BolaBum
An artistic practice, a product, and a growing community

WHO “WE” ARE
“WE” are the performance artist a.k.a “Cris”
“WE” are also the dual nature inside all of us, that needs both rest and productivity. BolaBum emerged from a moment in life that demanded a way to rebalance both.
During a trip to Perú, where my < 3 is from, I encountered these portable beach puffs. Something clicked.
And the rest they say, is their/story...

WHAT IT IS
More than just a product, BolaBum is rooted in a way of life shaped by long summers on the Spanish coastline and a culture that values downtime, leisure, and shared rhythms.
A Bolabum is both object, and situation:
a soft structure for reclining, gathering and contemplating — alone or together.
And as an artist I approach it as a soft, living, social sculpture.

COMMUNITY / PRACTICE
BolaBum is evolving through community oriented gatherings, workshops, and informal hangouts — in parks, beaches, and cities.
The aim is to create opportunities for connection, exchange and new perspectives.
These are moments for being together differently, outside of productivity - creating spaces to slow down,
and, collectively, chill.the.fuck.out.

VISION
BolaBum is an evolving project.
It seeks to build a sustainable practice and community grounded in fair structures, ecological responsibility, and slower forms of production.
At its core, BolaBum is about building bridges:
between Perú, where the object originates and is made, and Spain, where it is activated and shared;
between different cultural contexts and subcultures;
between art and life,
between making and resting
