About

Nora Wagner

artist, empirical researcher

As an artist, curator and a social being, i am guided by a deep interest in how we create and exist together. My work centers on imagining spaces where collaboration feels natural and where vulnerability isn’t seen as a weakness but as a generative force.

Drawn to the challenge of rethinking the ways we live and work, i seek alternatives to hierarchical systems and efficiency-driven models. In their place, i aim to cultivate environments where unexpected connections and creative risks feel not only possible but necessary.

I see art not (only) as a product but as a political, ethical, and aesthetic act. A way of connecting through imagination and creativity. The act of making is inseparable from how we relate, decide, and share. Each project becomes a space of dialogue and mutual trust, where outcomes are shaped in an evolving way rather than determined in advance.

My work tends to open up space for presence—where participation can take the form of subtle gestures, shared stories, or simply being together in discovery.

I believe museums hold potential beyond display; they can become places where reflection, experimentation, and care are practiced in real time. Inspired by thinkers like Glissant, Haraway, Bennett, and Soper, I explore shared identity, post-growth living, vibrant materiality, and radical interdependence.

You could say that art for me, is lived research, it doesn’t explain or persuade. It doesn’t impose. It invites. It listens. It plays.

I prefer not to be on instagram or facebook, for further information,
