Lina Jaruntowski
Lina v. Jaruntowski is a designer, researcher, and educator based in Hamburg. Her practice is grounded in storytelling and collective methodologies. She uses writing, multimedia techniques, and publishing to create frameworks for dialogue. Central to her practice is the relationship between language and technology as narrative tool and their influence on the convoluted stories of humans and environment.
Lina’s current research investigates climate projections as vessels of cultural narratives, analyzing how their literary technologies shape human-nature relations. By using relational forms of publishing, she proposes collective and situated practices to foster speculative and intimate reimaginings of ecological intertwinements.
She holds a BA from the University of Arts Bremen and an MA from the Design Academy Eindhoven. From 2019 to 2022 Lina was a scholarship holder of the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes and received the Exposé Scholarship in 2023 to support her doctoral application. She teaches at the Academy of Fashion and Design Hamburg and the University of Arts Bremen.
Lina is an active member of the feminist collectives POSSY in Hamburg and location-independent Radio Echo.
