About
Carolin Meyer is a multidisciplinary artist & DJ, working at the intersections of art and research and deploying video, sculpture, music, sound, performance, collage, installation and writing. Shaped by her experience of transracial adoption at birth (from Kurdish Yazidi to German), she is interested in different modes of (dis)embodiment and their translation into multisensory and immersive artistic interventions that explore their ‘visceral affectiveness’ as a way to 'cut through the noise' and create empathy.
Her work has been published by The Sociological Review and STILL POINT. Most recently, she has been exploring music as research as Creative Fellow at UCL.
