Together with Sophie Rauscher I’ve been hosting the Podcast “trans sein” (eng.: being trans) (in German) for over 5 years. We explore philosophical and political themes, often with guests that have specific expertise on trans-related topics.
From 2016 to 2020 I have curated and organized several art exhibitions and shows, focused mostly on exploring gender, bodies, and queerness:
- 2016: “Embodiments: An Art Laboratory and Exhibition”, WHITECONCEPTS Galerie Berlin
- 2017: Art Exhibition for VSAC Berlin, ACUD Galerie Berlin
- 2018: “Attack on (your) patriarchy”, short film & debate night, Radikal Light Berlin
- 2019: “Fuck Me Tender”, art show, ACUD Galerie Berlin
- 2020: “Ruhe: A couple of queers reading”, literature event, Altes Finanzamt Berlin
I have also written a number of public articles and given interviews:
- Interview on Kaleidoscience podcast about transness, social media, and the mind
- Blog contribution to #firstgenphilosophers blog (English)
- Blog entry for the #firstgenphilosophers blog
