About Christa Donner
Christa Donner investigates the body as a site for conflict and adaptation, from the internal activities of the microbiome to the creative potentials of care work and community. Working across a range of media including large-scale drawing, audio performance, and small-press publications, she creates multi-layered projects that are both intimate and community-centered. In 2012, one year into parenthood, Donner launched the collaborative platform Cultural ReProducers. The project continues to evolve, providing skillsharing, critical dialogue, participatory events, and an international community supporting the dual work of artists raising children. Donner teaches at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Donner’s work is exhibited widely, including projects for the NTU Centre for Contemporary Art in Singapore; the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (Berlin, Germany); BankArt NYK (Yokohama, Japan); Chiaki Kamikawa Contemporary Art (Paphos, Cyprus); the Museum Bellerive (Zurich, Switzerland); and throughout the United States.
