HER STORY - HER ART / ArtCamp mit Katharina Oberlik

HER STORY - HER ART
ArtCamp Österfeld / Whitsun 2026

ArtCamp Österfeld is a multidisciplinary gathering as part of the series Herstory to be told/Kiss your inner artist by director and mentor Katharina Oberlik. The ArtCamp is a space of retreat and self-expression for women, offering full permission for playful and artistic exploration. A retreat to immerse oneself in one’s own artistic expression and to be felt and acknowledged within it.
One focus of this retreat is on the participants’ personal stories: what role does the artist play in their lives? How much space is given to her?
At ArtCamp, she is given her full place and space for new inspiration in individual and interdisciplinary expression: dance, performance, music, language, writing, singing, photography or video.
Through a mix of guided sessions and individual exploration, a new network is created to connect female creative power and autonomy.

All participants develop an individual site-specific performance, in one of the diverse spaces of the oesterfeld04 residency – from the cellar to the attic or in the wild garden.

In a second phase, to mark the conclusion of the planned ArtCamp No. 2, the further-developed performances will be presented to the public (spring 2027).

Katharina Oberlik
The director, performer and pioneer of new female narratives and working methods opens up transformative fields of artistic expression and weaves networks of female solidarity, visibility and intelligence into this world.
She uses language, dance, images, music and video to make truth, poetry and magic tangible. In the field of contemporary performance, she has been creating countless plays and performances for over 20 years and teaches authenticity on stage and on video.
Her current focus is on creating spaces for female freedom in the body and language, telling HerStory, and opening up spaces for female expression, connection and strength.
