TEACHER · ARTIST · ORGANIZER

Berlin-based trans visual artist, filmmaker, performer and shibari teacher with a visual-communication diploma from Bauhaus-University Weimar. Practicing rope since 2013, she co-founded Karada House Berlin in 2019 with Caritia and Mamana and has taught / organized there since that period, framing it as a queer community space for rope bondage, performance and embodied practices. Teaches shibari internationally and at Karada House with emphasis on consent, safety and embodied practice, and uses rope, photography and film to explore bodies, identity, gender, sexuality and taboo. Her current official profile also presents her as co-director of the 2018 film The Artist and the Pervert. The same bio names Addie Tahl, Akechi Kanna & Kagura, Georg Barkas, Murasaki Haruan and Naoko among the practitioners in the personal-exchange context through which her rope practice developed, while keeping further Berlin-scene exchange with Caritia, Mamana, Ceci Ferox and Sophia Rose as collaboration context. In 2026, Studio Allegory's QuIRKS programme listed her as a Berlin presenter with classes including Cocoon, Rope and Playfighting, and sessions with Mamana and Sophia Rose.
