(1985, USA/GERMANY) is an architect, artist, writer, researcher, and educator. She is registered with the Architektenkammer Berlin and is in charge of the build side of Plural Studio.

Anna works to promote natural materials and sustainable methods in the built environment; for example, celebrating the maintenance of older buildings, incorporating permaculture concepts into design thinking and looking for ways to avoid waste and resource extraction in a building’s life-cycle. She understands that the transition to more sustainable building will require making time and space for learning, discussion, and collaboration between clients, users, trades people, experts as well as the more-than-human.

Driven by her passion for architecture and art, she is most inspired by acts of learning and creativity. She has published three books which illustrate her visions of urban life: Seeing Fire | Seeing Meadows with Plural Studio in 2023, Three Pathways to Get Anywhere in 2015 with Rough Beast, and Berlin: A Morphology of Walls in 2014. She also produces the interview series “Recast by Design” on sub_ʇxǝʇ radio, with thematic focus on solidarity, politics, and sustainability in cities. In 2021 she co-founded a neighbourhood climate action group (Klima und Kiez) in Berlin, focused on local energy use, maintaining green spaces and encouraging urban biodiversity. She is currently working with the activist group Architects4Future.

Anna is a graduate of the Cooper Union School of Architecture, NYC, and the recipient of a 2009 Fulbright Grant for research on post-apartheid urbanism in Johannesburg, South Africa. While working in offices in Berlin, Germany, from 2010-2017, she collaborated on award winning competitions with SMAQ, was a project architect for the design and construction of the Mehr! Theater Hamburg with F101, and planned all of the permanent furniture for the National Museum for Art and Design in Oslo with Kleihues-Schuwerk. She has held teaching and research positions at the Royal College of Art in London, the Berlin International University for Applied Sciences, the University of Bath in England, the Technical University of Braunschweig in Germany, the Humboldt University in Berlin, and the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa.

(1983, UK/Germany) is an interdisciplinary artist interested in creating non-hierarchical networks of artists, researchers and citizens. His focus within Plural Studio is the publishing wing.

From radio stations to project coordination his work engages with people, ideas and cooperative solutions. He has worked across the fields of youth and migrant theater, commissioned public artwork, radio production and curation and numerous panel discussions concerning racial politics, land rights and knowledge production.

His 2021 book Ricochet - Cultural Epigenetics and the Philosophy of Change, has drawn approval from artistic, scientific and anthropological quarters.

Here Comes Trouble, An Inquiry into Art, Magic and Madness as Deviant Knowledge, the author’s MA thesis, is in its third print and has sold over 1300 copies worldwide.

His forthcoming book is 1001 Accurate Memories on Plural Studio (2025). The book presents patterns of self-repair amongst the ruins of ideas, relationships and human bodies. The author travels across space and time attempting to gain insights into class, disability and trauma through drawing, writing and photography. His investigation into traumatic memory tempts the author to suggest a shift from Germany’s professed ‘memory culture’ to a ‘traumatic memory culture’, in that traumatic memory is greatly more accurate.

Consequently, 1001 Accurate Memories seeks to locate the reader back within their own skin by highlighting our differentiated but ultimately shared anatomy.

Birthed from a seven year odyssey into blood, guts and tears, the work proposes that sensations in the body begin wider processes of understanding. By identifying the value of listening to the body in this way, the interpretative role of the human brain becomes more apparent. From this insight stems the ability to see trauma, memory and political propaganda as forms of easily manipulated emotional information. This leads Head to conclude that the primary way to counter such manipulation is the spiritual, physical and mental self-determination of the human body.

Head co-founded the Wasteland Twinning Network, a transdisciplinary network for parallel research into urban wastelands.

He studied a Bachelors of Arts in Sculpture & Environmental Art at The Glasgow School of Art (2007), including an exchange programme at Pratt University, New York (2005). He attained a Masters at Raumstrategien (Spatial Strategies), focusing on Fine Art and Political Theory, at Weißensee School of Art, Berlin (2016).

He is the founder of subtext radio in Berlin.
