Tereśa Braunschweig

Communication and Public Relations
Trained as an art historian, Teresa quickly moved from theory to action — producing exhibitions and artworks in public spaces, institutions, and on festival grounds. Most recently, she led all major exhibitions at @hochschulefuergestaltung_karlsruhe, where she mastered the art of bringing it all together for the big opening.
With The Gap Project, she’s rethinking how we work with, show, and experience art — through a feminist lens. Teresa leads with high energy, clear vision, and lots of check-ins to keep us aligned and moving forward.

Communication
Anna Baer, an abstract expressionist artist, educator, and curator based in Heidelberg, Germany, weaves spontaneous creativity with intimate personal inquiry.
Her work, showcased in solo exhibitions and international residencies, invites a deep, raw connection between chaos and control, drawing viewers into a world of emotion and energy.
Julia Benz
Curation +
Project Management
Julia curates with an instinct for vibrancy, resistance, and emotional depth. As a visual artist rooted in painting and fine art, she brings a heightened sensorial awareness and a deep feel for materiality into her curatorial lens — where aesthetics become activism.
In our exhibition 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲 & 𝐏𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞, her vision focuses on artists who offer radical subjectivity, layered perspectives, and a feminist disruption of visual norms. Working across performance, photography, textile, and installation, these voices share a common urge: to challenge dominant narratives of gender, identity, sexuality, and power.

Educational Director
Diana Frasek moves fluidly behind and beyond the scenes — as an artist, educator, and member of the board of Heidelberger Kunstverein. She brings people, patterns, and possibilities together, knitting fine connections into strong, visible networks.
For Play & Pleasure, Diana creates the public program: bold, joyful, participatory — and full of depth. For her, art is never a solitary act, but a shared process of sensing, questioning, and reimagining.
“Words, perspectives, and contexts shape how we see. What do I feel? What does the artist say? How is it framed theoretically? Only through this layered dialogue can we begin to truly understand.”
what gaps?
what gaps?
The GAP Project identifies and addresses four critical gaps within the art world: the Access Gap, focused on reducing entry barriers for emerging and lesser-known artists; the Gender-Show Gap, dedicated to improving the visibility of women artists and supporting the compatibility of artistic careers with family life; the Transparency Gap, committed to fostering fair, sustainable working conditions through greater openness in the art market; and the Contemporary Art Gap, aiming to establish Heidelberg as a dynamic hub for young, fresh perspectives in contemporary art. Through these initiatives, The GAP Project seeks to dismantle systemic obstacles and create a more inclusive, equitable, and vibrant art ecosystem.
