Dr Nora Heidorn makes exhibitions, public programmes, and collaborative creative projects, as well as publishing in academic and arts contexts. Her practice is led by transdisciplinary research investigating the complex politics of sexual reproduction, health, and care. She does this through an intersectional feminist lens and using curatorial and artistic methods.
Nora completed her LAHP-funded PhD in the Health and Care Research Cluster at the Royal College of Art, London in early 2025 ( "Reckoning with the necropolitics of reproduction: On the concomitance of care and violence in two artefacts of reproductive healthcare ").
Since 2022, she has been collaborating with the artist Lynne Kouassi to create and exhibit the body of work Naturkulturpolitik, which has been shortlisted for the Feminist Art Prize at IKOB Museum, Belgium, in 2025.
Curated exhibitions include Being Horizontal, Project Arts Centre, Dublin (2023), Onyeka Igwe: Dancing with the Archive, Uferstudios, Berlin (2022); and Sick & Desiring, Bergen Assembly, Bergen (2019). Nora co-edited I care by…, Royal College of Art, London (2021) and Coming Soon, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo and Nero editions, Turin/Rome (2018).
She has previously worked as an Associate Lecturer at Central Saint Martins College, as Curator and Project Coordinator in the Department of Art at Goldsmiths College and as Director at the gallery The Approach (all in London).
She lives and works in Berlin.
