Read MoreVeronika Dräxler (she/her, *1986 in Fürstenfeldbruck, lives in Berlin) is a media and performance artist whose interdisciplinary research investigates patterns of processing cross-generational trauma caused by the abuse of power, and how these shape our cultural landscape, social environment and mythology.
