About

Mira Hirtz is a curator for independent projects as well as at ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe, Germany, and an independent art mediator and performance artist. She explores the intersections of art, health, ecology and science. Her work takes many different formats, from exhibitions to performances and workshops.

Mira’s thinking and doing is informed by embodied practices and concepts of care and access. As a curator, she also wonders about how global and local, as well as human and non-human narratives come together. 


 

Some of her main projects include the touring exhibition “Critical Zones. In Search of a Common Ground”, initiated by the ZKM | Karlsruhe and the Goethe-Institut South Asia 2022-2024 and “Assembling Grounds. Practices of Coexistence” at ZKM | Karlsruhe 2025/2026. She co-curated the program series “How do we care?” 2020 as well as Netta Weiser’s project “Radio-Choreography” 2024 at Badischer Kunstverein Karlsruhe. She currently co-curates the research and exhibition project “Intersections & Interventions: Barwe & Klee” in collaboration with Zapurza Museum of Art and Culture Pune, the Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan Pune and the Zentrum Paul Klee Bern, as well as the collective research “Riverlandscapes” supported by the Pro Helvetia Synergies fund.

As an artist and mediator, she has choreographed numerous performances and facilitates regular workshops and participatory events. Her recent exhibitions include “feel soft” at ASC Croydon, London; “SOMA CITY” at We are Awareness in Art, Zurich; and “Exploring notions of care: a performative workshop” at La Loge, Brussels.
