short bio
Laura Papke (Munich, 1992; she/her) is an interdisciplinary designer and artistic researcher living and working in the Netherlands. Through her artistic practice, she explores the intersections of ecology, culture and well-being with a particular interest in queer ecologies, techno-feminism, and shamanic healing practices. She crafts contemporary rituals that bring together scientific and spiritual ways of knowing. Her methodology is deeply rooted in performative design strategies, the use of technology, and interdisciplinary collaborations.
As an artist, Laura strives to unite her knowledge and creativity to establish a space to care-with each other, contributing to the development of self-organized systems of care. In addition, it is her intention to offer new perspectives on healing processes in a technology-driven world. She seeks to reimagine the purpose of technology, shifting our focus towards nurturing our collective spiritual well-being. Currently, she is continuing her research on interoception, the perception of inner-body activities, and the process of synchronisation.
Laura holds a Bachelor of Arts in Fashion Design from AMD Academy of Fashion & Design Munich (DE) and was awarded third place for the AMD Fashion Award 2017 with her final collection Naphtha. She also holds a Master of Arts in Social Design from Design Academy Eindhoven (NL) and was nominated for the Planetree Design Award 2022, granted by GGzE De Grote Beek and Design Academy Eindhoven, with her graduation project Sonic Driving.
