BABES BITCHES & QUEENS

December 17, 2020 by nataschastellmach

BABES BITCHES & QUEENS is both an empowerment programme and a new artistic project. It invites you to explore your dark and golden shadow traits with me to create a Superpower Archetype that will help you navigate these strange times with more ease.

SANA SANAA / GOETHE INSTITUT RESIDENCY | NAIROBI

October 19, 2019 by nataschastellmach

October 24 – Christmas, 2019 Honoured to be nominated for the inaugural Sana Sanaa arts residency, supported by Goethe Institute and in association with Brush Tu Art Studio.

We were both concurrently in Berlin […]

PORTRAIT EXTENDED | BERLIN

October 22, 2018 by nataschastellmach

October 12 – November 17, 2018 (extended till November 24) Wagner+Partner | Berlin Portrait Extended includes five new intimate works by Natascha Stellmach that address the changing notion of the self, via personal polaroids with text, paint and nail polish, and frottage (made ‘post sex’). The six artists in Portrait Extended take into account the search for identity, image and origin. To what extent are we autonomous, or ruled by outside forces? How much power does the past have for […]
