Leona Koldehoff

Leona Koldehoff works at the intersection of curatorial, performative, and activist practices. She explores and tests formats of artistic and academic historiography with a focus on queer and feminist positions and projects. Her current work is focused on transforming her ongoing research topics (such as housing, ableism, and queerness) into specialized artistic formats.

As a dramaturg, Leona Koldehoff recently staged the reading/performance Your Body Is a Skyscraper with the author Fred Heinemann. She also developed the production You Know The Feeling with the collective Blomen/Moré/Reiniger. In collaboration with other artists, she runs the Probebühne im Gängeviertel, a rehearsal space for the independent performance scene in Hamburg. Along with curator Nora Brünger, Leona Koldehoff organized the exhibition caring structures at Kunstverein Hildesheim with the aim of making space for an intersectional and forward-looking reflection on ableism. Their next project concerns art, public space and activism in Hanover in the 1970s and features artist Julia Lübbecke. 

Leona Koldehoff studied Art and Visual History and Philosophy in Berlin as well as Applied Theater and Performance Studies in Hildesheim. She lives in Hamburg and is currently pursuing a second Master’s in Library and Information Science.
