Profile
Meret Behnke is a German designer and artistic researcher currently based in Eindhoven. With a background in Industrial Design from the Folkwang University of Arts and a Master’s in Geo-Design from the Design Academy Eindhoven, her practice weaves together material and object experimentation with moving image and spatial multimedia installations. Grounded in fieldwork research, site-specific recordings and materialities, she explores ecologies, cultures, and multispecies relationships, using design as a form of storytelling to reflect on ecological and social systems.
