Theresa Weber (b. 1996, Düsseldorf, lives and works in Berlin, DE) graduated from the Royal College of Art in London in 2023. Through multi-disciplinary installation and collaborative performances, the artist challenges power hierarchies and fixed categorizations. Her works reference mythologies and historical research, expressed through dense collages and sculptural networks. Using culturally loaded materials, she engages with the body from an anti-colonial perspective and explores hybrid identities. Her practice highlights the transformation within traditions, combining contemporary body-marks and archival techniques. Balancing transparency and opacity, she creates spaces of strength and resilience through nuance and fragility. Weber presented institutional exhibitions at Kunstmuseum Bochum and Neun Kelche, Berlin. Between 2023 and 2025, she was invited for public commissions, including a project at Somerset House, London (2023) and at Nikolaikirche Stadtmuseum, Berlin (2025).
