Yvonne Volkart

Dr. Yvonne Volkart’s concerns lie in the modes how aesthetic theory-practice, ecology, technology, science, and decolonial feminism come together and bring us in relation to the world. She is head of research and senior lecturer in art theory and cultural media studies at the Institute Art Gender Nature HGK Basel FHNW. There, she directed the SNSF-research project Plants_Intelligence. Learning Like a Plant (2022 – 2025). She also holds a teaching position at the Master of Arts in Art Education at the ZHdK in Zurich. She is the author of the open-access-monograph Technologies of Care. From Sensing Technologies to an Aesthetics of Attention in a More-than-Human World (diaphanes, 2023), and co-curator and author of the group exhibition and book project Unter Pflanzen at Museum Sinclair-Haus in Bad Homburg (2025).
