Lina Jaruntowski

Lina von Jaruntowski (she/her) is a designer and researcher based in Hamburg and Eindhoven. She is a member of the feminist collectives POSSY from Hamburg and Radio Echo in The Hague. As a member of POSSY, she has been an important part of Hamburg’s queer-feminist club culture and created a platform of support for diverse FLINTA* artists since 2017.
Trained as a graphic designer and design researcher, Lina’s practice follows her strong interest in forms of feminist storytelling, collectivity, and experimental forms of publishing. 
Her practice contains graphic design, publications, workshops, and textual and performative works to question human-nature relations and ­hetero-patriarchal power structures. She studied integrated design at the University of the Arts Bremen and Artistic Research at the Design Academy Eindhoven. She holds teaching positions at the Academy of Fashion and Design Hamburg and the University of Arts Bremen. Currently, Lina is researching embodied, linguistic, textual, and technological ecologies and infra­structures around weather forecasts.
