Shirin Krastel (she/her) is a Berlin-based artist working at the intersections of graphic design,
mixed media, installation, and text.
In her practice, she playfully approaches themes such as cultural identity, digital intimacy, and online aesthetics through a queer-feminist lens. Texture, touch, and materiality often interweave language to create spaces where reading becomes both tactile and visual.
Through her work, she seeks to create imaginative and inclusive spaces beyond institutional contexts, focusing on vulnerability and collective care.
