CAROLA UEHLKEN

CAROLA UEHLKEN is a transdisciplinary curator, and artist-researcher based in Berlin. Her research focuses on the entanglement of living and dead material, food, soil and architecture and the many (im)possibilities in knowledge production towards a shift of understanding the human entity as ecosystems. The courtroom, governing systems and the administration apparatus are taken as a tool to reflect upon their performative aesthetics, their linguistics and at the same time bitter effects on marginalised groups, other-than-human species and geopolitical infrastructures. With disobedience, chaos and humour against ruling systems she opens up potential readings of pasts and futures in which collaboration and participation support new, weird, climate-fictional narratives that enable critical perspectives and personal stories in all their complexity.
