Kathrin Böhm
Kathrin Böhm works as an artist and organiser across interdependent realms of cultural production, including the art world. Her organisational and spatial work supports collective forms of (re-)producing public space, reclaiming the economy for more-than-capitalist futures, and enabling a new trans-localism that acknowledges the rural. As a researcher, she contributes to the broader topics of New Economies, Cultural Democracy, Usership of Art and Commons-based World Building. Kathrin paused initiating new projects, and began a process of “composting” her work to date, in order to generate “fertiliser” for evolving long-term, collective, and commons-based infrastructures she is involved with. She currently holds an art professorship at the Economics Department/Alanus University, and is a member of the Community Economies Institute.
