About
Carolin Meyer is a multidisciplinary artist & DJ, working at the intersections of art and research. Shaped by her experience of transracial adoption at birth (from Kurdish Yazidi to German), she is primarily interested in different modes of (dis)embodiment and their translation into multisensory, viscerally affective interventions using video, sculpture, music, sound, installation, writing, and occasionally performance.
Other than embodiment and the body, she is interested in identity, racialisation, techno-social transformations, and climate change (de-anthropocentrism).
Her work has been published in The Sociological Review and STILL POINT JOURNAL. In 2023, she was appointed Creative Fellow at UCL, exploring music as research. Currently, she is part of the 2024/25 cohort of the alternative MFA at School of the Damned, and an Acme studio holder.
