Anja Söyünmez

Arootin Mirzakhani

Arootin Mirzakhani, also known as miss certainly, lives and works with art as a thinking system to make hegemonic structures tangible in acts ofcoming together. Engaging with one's own (un)freedom and human relationships within their social, cultural, and collective contexts is central to this practice. Complex relations between the gaze, emotions, cultural hegemony, social power, and fiction form key elements that are explored performatively through various forms.

Duc Vu Manh

Based in Berlin, they have no plans to relocate and envision a world ruled by no one.

Sarah Steiner

Sarah Steiner is an artist. Curious about the poetry of the ephemeral, the unfinished, and the supposedly flawed, her artistic practice explores concepts of emptiness and silence, of relationships, language and intimacy, of body, space, and time, and investigates the question of where the self ends and the other begins. In doing so, she follows shadows and echoes, traces the in-between and seeks an experience with all her senses by slowing down.

Thesea Rigou

Thesea Rigou is a Cypriot interdisciplinary artist, educator, and gardener based in Berlin. Their artistic practice centers on socio-ecological themes, weaving together installations, performances, and printmaking through a blend of theoretical inquiry and material experimentation. As an art educator, Thesea enjoys hosting safer spaces for critical dialogue and political engagement, drawing on experience in collaborative and self-organized projects.
