Karina Griffith
The films, installations and curatorial practices of Karina Griffith explore the themes of fear and fantasy, often focusing on how they relate to belonging. Griffith’s work has been shown at international galleries and festivals, and she has curated film and interdisciplinary programmes for the Goethe Institute, Berlinale Forum, Ballhaus Naunynstrasse, alpha nova & galerie future, and Vtape, among others. She teaches at the Berlin University of Art as well as the NODE Centre for Curatorial Studies and is a PhD candidate at the University of Toronto's Cinema Studies Institute where her research on Black authorship in German cinema interacts with theories of affect and intersectionality. Her writing can be found in darkmatter Journal, Women in German Studies’ Special Online Section on Race and Inclusivity, Texte zur Kunst, Canadian Art, Berlin Art Link, Shadow & Act, and the Berlinale Forum Magazine.
