Hello! Let’s sort and re-arrange reality in humorous ways to cause shifts in perception.
How do we want to live, work, and simply be?
I am an author, educator, artist, designer, meditation teacher, and consultant for well-being in arts and culture.
I write about contemporary artistic practices, multi-sensory aesthetic experiences, participation in the museum, personal and organisational development, and the pursuit of happiness in my everyday life in my vignettes “the ones”.
At the end of the day, I am most interested in exploring how to apply meditation as a radical feminist practice, along with my passions for birds, travel, and innovative change processes.

There is an almost classic meme from an old American "How to Draw" instruction book.
"How to draw an owl."
The meme highlights our universal desire for simple solutions. We want instructions and precise roadmaps. At the same time, the meme shows that it's usually impossible to jump directly from A to Z. It also illustrates our impulse to run away from the discomfort we feel when we don’t know exactly how to reach our goal.
Kargin, Fatma; King, Dorothée; Savic, Selena: Teaching Artistic Strategies: Playing with Materiality, Aesthetics, and Ambiguity, transcript, 2024.
Artistic strategies have a great transformative potential to improve research, teaching, and artistic expression. The contributors to this volume show how to unleash this potential by presenting a variety of epistemological experiments at the intersection of artistic research, pedagogy, and innovative practices in art and design education.
Kunst- und Designvermittlung ist ein vielfältiger Tätigkeitsbereich und lässt sich in unterschiedlichsten Berufsbildern zum Einsatz bringen. Teilnehmende des neuen CAS Artistic Literacy der HGK FHNW lernen, Kunst und Gestaltung als Mittel der Begegnung zu verstehen und zu nutzen.

In my head I did this moving game a zillion time. I know rent and real estate prices everywhere. I know the names of all the schools. I know if they have dog parks. I know about gluten-free cafes. I am tired. Moving in my head is exhausting.
