Shelley Etkin is a transdisciplinary artist, educator, and gardener based in Berlin, Germany with roots in the US/Turtle Island and Israel/Palestine. She works at the intersections of art and ecology, engaging with relations between bodies and lands through place-based knowledges. Her work integrates practices from dance/somatics, herbal medicines, pedagogy, and intersectional queer feminist community organising. Shelley’s bodywork and earth-care practices are dedicated to expanding perception, communication, and connectivity particularly with the plant world. ‘Landing‘ as a process and movement forms the grounds for her methodology.
