Aneta Panek
Aneta Panek is a Berlin based film maker and performance artist, working in the fields of performance, opera, and film. Recurrent themes include alchemy, transmutation, subversion and rebellion as means of self-discovery. Her work, based on other knowledge and performative research, is about the necessity of visualization and associative speculation in formulating and deconstructing theories and questioning reality.
Aneta completed studies in art history and archeology at the Sorbonne in Paris with MA and DEA diplomas. She earned her doctoral degree (Dr. Phil.), summa cum laude, at the University of Arts Berlin, with a practice-based thesis entitled “Alchemy of Punk”. Her research is concerned with transgression, subversion, and poetry in the punk avant-gardes. While her practice culminates in experimental film, she also stages live performances and operas to challenge the existing norms of performing knowledge.

Philipp Meinert
Philipp was born in Western Germany in the Ruhr area, known for its rougher punk scene. In the 1990s, he got in touch with punk by popular bands like Die Toten Hosen and Die Ärzte and soon dived deeper into ‘Deutschpunk’. Always more a bystander (because he refused to drink), but also interested in the active DIY-culture of punk, he sometimes organizes shows and has been a regular contributor to the Plastic Bomb fanzine since 2010. Philipp studied Social Science in Bochum.
He was never interested in the academics of punk, until a friend asked him to co-edit the anthology Punk in Deutschland. Sozial- und kulturwissenschaftliche Perspektiven (with Martin Seeliger, transcript Verlag, 2013). Philipp is the author of Homopunk History. Von den Sechzigern bis in die Gegenwart, a book about LGBTIQ+ in the international punk- and hardcore scenes (Ventil Verlag, 2018).
Philipp lives in Berlin and works on his PhD-thesis about right-wing tendencies in German punk.
