JANA MALIN: ART & SCIENCE, WORKS WITH WILD WOLF POPULATIONS
Biography: Jana Malin formerly developed innovative educational models in cooperation with businesses and scientists. She subsequently took over a management and leadership role for the Academy in New Media and Knowledge Transfer at the University of Graz. Even back then, the importance of values and creativity were
a integral focal point of her work. During this time, she pursued her passion for photography and painting, until she experienced for the first time – a wolf in 2010. This encounter led her to the exploration and photography of the life of wild wolves. The months of observations have given her not only pictures but also deep insights into the lives of wolves. Exhibitions and art events aim to inspire people to learn more about wolves and nature. The dialogue between art and science that Jana Malin establishes in her art events is intended to increase our connection to nature. At the same time, these events should provide inspirations that will lead us to creative solutions for coexistence across disciplines.
