Dr. Johanna Schindler

I am trained as a cultural scholar and arts manager and wrote a PhD on artistic research. I have worked as a curatorial assistant at Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, as a manager of the International Association of Curators of Contemporary Art, as a research fellow at Zeppelin University, Germany, and as a researcher and coordinator at Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin. Since 2019, I am the managing editor of the Journal of Cultural Management and Cultural Policy and a reviewer for the Journal for Artistic Research.

I am using German and English both professionally and in private contexts every day, and I speak French and Spanish fluently. In addition to this passion for languages and writing, I love to sing, for example as member of the choir Vokalsystem in Berlin. Yoga and running are as much part of my life as is capturing impressions while traveling or walking the streets.

“Thanks to her outstanding language skills, Johanna has made a major contribution to the success of my Master’s thesis. To me, her precise and clear way of formulating in English is nothing less than art. Johanna has brought freshness and structure to my text wherever I had fallen into a certain rut. I am truly convinced that her language skills and her critical thinking are valuable for all written pieces.”
