About

Linnéa Meiners is a Berlin based curator, visual artist and filmmaker. Her art work encompasses a variety of transformational themes, which she explores through artistic and curatorial practices.

Currently, she is the curatorial fellow of JUNGE AKADEMIE at Akademie der Künste Berlin in 2025/26.

Focus and Practice
In her work, Meiners investigates narrative transformations of revolution, art & labour and accessibility. She develops formats that engage with questions of solidarity, care and practices of resistance. Dynamics of change are examined, and the moving image is used as a means to critically reflect on the given forces that shape our world. Meiners’ practice evolves from a precise research of landscapes – both material and metaphorical ones. She opens up spaces where speculative imagination intersects with a critique of capitalist-motivated interventions in nature. In doing so, ideas of time and corporeality are questioned. In this context, her interest lies in imagining possibilities for socially just, sustainable and accessible futures. 

Her curatorial and artistic approaches are closely intertwined by their content. Furthermore, while both practices address similar questions, they enable the inclusion of different perspectives and forms of engagement. Meiners studied fine arts, time-based media and art theory in Berlin, Vienna, Leipzig and Zurich. Artistic interventions, performances and cinematic arts are included in her work.

From 2023 to 2024, she was artistic director of the non-commercial ACUD Galerie in Berlin Mitte. Together with Christof Zwiener, she curated the fourth Berlin Britzenale in 2023, an open-air art festival on sustainability. From 2020 to 2022, she was artistic program director at the municipal Galerie im Turm in Berlin. As a Curatorial Researcher, she worked at Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien, which is directed by Stéphane Bauer. In 2022, as part of Kommunale Galerien Berlin, she and Solvej Helweg Ovesen conceived the conference “Schöpfen ohne Erschöpfung – Nachhaltigkeit im Kunst- und Kulturbetrieb” (Creating without exhaustion – On sustainability in art work) at Zitadelle Spandau. She was a co-founder and part of the collective BRIMBORIA.
