Sandra Noeth
Dr. Sandra Noeth is a Professor at the HZT-Inter-University Centre for Dance / Berlin University of the Arts, and a curator internationally active in independent and institutional contexts. She specializes in ethical and political perspectives toward body-practice and theory. In various transdisciplinary projects and collaborations with a wide range of artists and scholars, she engages with bodies under structural violence and the potential of artistic practice and aesthetic experience to raise awareness and build agency for the systemic non/representation of some bodies (see, a.o. Violence of Inscriptions, with A. Zaides, 2016-18, HAU Hebbel am Ufer; What does it take to cross a border?, 2018, ifa-gallery Berlin; Hållning – a body-based platform for collective learning, 2021, MDT Stockholm). Her current research focuses questions of bodily integrity and the unequal politics of protection and security of bodies (see Bodies, un-protected, 2021-22, with Mousonturm, Frankfurt). She wrote and co-edited several books on the topic such as Bodies of Evidence: Ethics, Aesthetics, and Politics of Movement (2018, with G. Ertem) or Resilient Bodies, Residual Effects: Artistic Articulations of Borders and Collectivity in Lebanon and Palestine (2019). From 2009-2014, Sandra acted as the Head of Dramaturgy and Research at Tanzquartier in Vienna; as an educator and researcher, she works regularly with, amongst others, DOCH/Stockholm University of the Arts (Senior Lecturer since 2012), Ashkal Alwan HWP-program (Resident Professor 2015-16).
