Julischka Stengele

Julischka Stengele (she*/none) is a queer and crip transdisciplinary artist, freelance curator, writer, facilitator and lecturer based in Vienna. After training in cooking, cleaning and serving, Julischka studied design, performance, visual arts and cultural studies in Berlin, Helsinki and Vienna.

A post-studio artist, Julischka’s practice is project based, genre-crossing, multi-medial, formally diverse and thematically broad. Specializing in performative, site-responsive, conceptual and participatory formats, she* enjoys creating situations, atmospheres and get-togethers as a form of art.

Julischka moderates artist talks and other discursive formats, writes (e.g. for the feminist magazine an.schläge) and teaches in various contexts.


What I do, how and why is always strongly informed by what the encounter between me and my respective environment inspires in me. It’s about momentum and what stimulates and/or calls for my response. It lays in the relational, in the contextual, in the experience.

Sometimes you can eat it, sometimes touch, hear, feel, see, read choke on or laugh with it. Sometimes all at once, sometimes none of it. Always a translation of how I naviagte the world as who I am and what I’ve been shaped by in the course of life.
