She graduated in 2024 with a BA in Fine Arts from the Basel University of Art and Design, Institute Art Gender Nature. in 2021, she also earned a BA in Fine Art from the Bern University of the Arts, having graduated in 2020 from Zurich University of the Arts.

ARTIST STATEMENT
In her artistic practice, Babette Walder makes scurrilous, affectionate, bitter objects and narrations which stand in as political bodies and challenge notions around different modern identities. In dead serious idiocy, the works navigate the tension between bitter realities and playful expression. Employing a tactile formal language to attempt subtle forms of rebellion, her works push and pull interaction and draw closer to the precious and strange bodies of others.
