Hello! Let’s sort and re-arrange reality in humorous ways to cause shifts in perception. How do we want to live, work, and simply be?
I am an author, educator, artist, designer, meditation teacher, and coaching specialist for well-being in arts and culture.
I write about contemporary artistic practices, multi-sensory aesthetic experiences, participation in the museum, personal and organisational development, and the pursuit of happiness in my everyday life in my vignettes “the ones”.
At the end of the day, I am most interested in how to apply meditation as a radical feminist practice.
Kargin, Fatma; King, Dorothée; Savic, Selena: Teaching Artistic Strategies: Playing with Materiality, Aesthetics, and Ambiguity, transcript, 2024.
Artistic strategies have a great transformative potential to improve research, teaching, and artistic expression. The contributors to this volume show how to unleash this potential by presenting a variety of epistemological experiments at the intersection of artistic research, pedagogy, and innovative practices in art and design education. The diversity of contributions demonstrates the non-exhaustive space for experimental phenomenological adventures. This collection strengthens new communities of educators and researchers in arts and design, whose practices are built on the concept of care as empathetic knowledge production.
As we continue to innovate in audience development, how should our internal practices evolve?
A 2-day workshop with strategic impulses, Q&A with international experts and a premiere of a new story show.
14. - 15. November 2023, at Hessischer Rundfunk, co-hosted with Abhay Adhikari

FH News, September 2023
In my head I did this moving game a zillion time. I know rent and real estate prices everywhere. I know the names of all the schools. I know if they have dog parks. I know about gluten-free cafes. I am tired. Moving in my head is exhausting.
When I miss my daily practice, I feel it. I feel it in my body, but even more so in my everyday communication with the world and myself. When I am not based in my body, when I am not grounded in my mind, I tend to overreact, underreact, project, compare, and multitask. I overreact by screaming at my kids. I underreact when I do not pay enough attention to my dog’s education. I project my old wounds onto my loved one’s nowadays behavior. I compare myself to all my favorite activists, artists, writers, interior designers, politicians, yogis, and meditation teachers all at once.
