WAM! Women in Arts and Media e.V.

I’m proud that we founded this networking platform. We are alumni of the German Cultural Council’s mentoring programme for female leaders in the Arts. WAM e.V. started with the aim to support each other solidarily but soon continued with the urge to also open up to and to expand our network with more brilliant ladies that both need support and are able to support others in reaching the next career goal. Have a look at WAM, and feel free to contact or to join us if it speaks to you https://womeninartsandmedia.de/

Büro für Kuratorische Fürsorge und Kollektives Experiment

BÜRO for curatorial care and collective experiment : How do we want to work, exhibit, make art, learn and live; now and in the future? How can we adapt the current analogue and digital working and exhibition practices in the art system to our exasperations and needs?

-> Follow up this awesome one-year experimental project. It’s a processual thinking and working space, I am designing, constantly developing, questioning, overthrowing and remodelling together with my dear collective group of former Q18 / Quartier am Hafen Cologne curators: Wilko Austermann, Anne Mager, Linda Nadji, Jari Ortwig, Michael Stockhausen. Graphic by Tatjana Stürmer.

For the public we’ll have digital events and individual appointments on site in March/April 2021. We plan to conclude in an on-site program in September/October 2021. All info, dates, links, topics, artists you can find with frequent updates here: https://q18buero.wordpress.com/

Thank you, dear German Cultural Council. I’ve been accepted in their 1:1 mentoring programme for women in art and media in / aiming for leading positions. Yes I aim and yes I’m looking forward to exchange with my exceptional mentor and 30 brilliant female mentee fellows! Have a good read about the program here and don’t miss to apply next year.

Julius Brauckmann and Dennis Siering. I was happy to say a few words at the opening of their exhibition DATA at Galerie Gisela Clement (<< there’s documentation). Humour meets media meets art critic vs. post-human dystopian sculptures discussing the anthropocene. You can read my text here (German).
