About
Theresa Weber was born in Düsseldorf in 1996 and currently lives and works in Berlin.
Through material collage, textile installation and collaborative performance, the artist seeks to question existing power hierarchies and fixed categorizations. In her perspective as an artist with a Jamaican, German and Greek family background, her practice often refers to Caribbean discourse, existing mythologies and historical research fields.
Her works consists of culturally loaded materials that engage with the body from an de-colonial perspective. Represented through contemporary body-marks and archival techniques, her practice exemplifies the constant transformation within every tradition.
On the dynamic field between transparency and opacity, Weber’s practice creates space for strength and resilience through nuance and fragility.
