Verena Walzl is an artist and writer, who graduated in German Literature Studies and Art History (University of Graz) and in Textual Sculpture and Performative Art (Academy of Fine Arts Vienna). She worked as OeAD lecturer at the University of Prishtina. Her practice combines text, installation, and performance, exploring feminism, language, human-animal relations and power structures through poetic and political approaches.

Her academic work spans metaphors of earth in Paul Celan’s poetry, negative forms in Land Art as figures of memory and human–nature entanglement, and the cultural and symbolic meanings of horses in relation to gender and discipline. She is co-organiser of the Alexander Kluge Retrospective The Assault of the Present on the Rest of Time in Prishtina.
