Linnéa Meiners Appointed as JUNGE AKADEMIE Curatorial Fellow 2025–2026

The Akademie der Künste has announced Linnéa Meiners as the new JUNGE AKADEMIE curatorial fellow for 2025–2026. In this role, Meiners will contribute to the development of the curatorial concept for the exhibition and performance programme, which will present works by fellows from 2024 and 2025, spanning multiple disciplines.

Linnéa Meiners is a Berlin-based curator, artist, and filmmaker whose work explores the intersections of art and labour, narrative transformation, and social and climate justice. Her curatorial practice is grounded in fostering sustainable and progressive futures, with a focus on accessible discourse, practices of care, and collaborative approaches to exhibition-making.

Meiners has held key positions across Berlin’s cultural landscape, including artistic director of ACUD Galerie (2023/2024) and artistic program director at Galerie im Turm. She co-curated the fourth Berlin Britzenale in 2023 and, in 2024, curated the group exhibition Turn Illness into a Weapon at Kunstraum Kreuzberg, Berlin.

With this new appointment, the JUNGE AKADEMIE’s upcoming programme is set to benefit from Meiners’ commitment to resistant aesthetics and the negotiation of solidarity within the arts.
