Hej! I' m Lena, an interdisciplinary artist based in Stockholm

I move:write:research at the intersection of text and performance, and I am interested in spaces where performance, poetry and politics intertwine.

My artistic practice blends performance, dance, autofiction, poetry, non-linear storytelling, sound and visual textures, and understands them as mutual extensions of one another. I develop transmedia art projects revolving around queer bodies and their (hi)stories – entangled with their heritage, kinships and environment(s).

My text:performances and performance:texts have received various grants and scholarships. Most recently: the DAAD annual scholarship and a research grant from the City of Wiesbaden. 

 

I am currently studying New Performative Practices at the Stockholm University of the Arts (Master’s in Choreography) and I am part of the Textwerkstatt Darmstadt under the direction of Kurt Drawert.
