Renate Mihatsch (they/them/she/her) is a transmedia artist with a background in architecture. In their multifaceted practice they deal with processes of assembling and transferring to question binary structures from a queer perspective.Trans and inter are central concepts and methods in their artistic practice to work at the intersection of genre, media, gender, outdoor and indoor spaces. They combine live performances with audiovisual techniques and use a wide variety of materials, objects and light to create multi-sensory experiences and transmedia works. For more complex productions they often enter into a close exchange with dancers, musicians, costume designers and filmmakers.

Among others, they have received grants from Fonds Darstellende Künste, Stiftung Kunstfonds, Stadt Köln Kulturamt, Cheers For Fears, Kultur Steiermark: CINE ART and Stadt Graz.
