RIGGER · TEACHER

Berlin-based contemporary-rope teacher and rigger working publicly through Seilhafen. Seilhafen's current home and beginner-resource pages describe Arto as teaching contemporary rope bondage in Berlin, combining traditional shibari / kinbaku with queerfeminist ideals plus anatomy, psychology, mindfulness, communication and safety research. The same official profile says Arto rigs for performances, photo and video productions and gives workshops at kink and non-kink festivals, while the official ropeXchange June 13-15, 2025 programme lists `Arto & Jessa` in the Berlin presenter roster. documented here as a narrow Seilhafen / ropeXchange bridge rather than a broad Berlin-scene fan-out.
