About Us
Who We Are
Karada House is a queer project and space, based in Berlin and online.
Our primary practice is to curiously explore and challenge politics of body, power, identities and the multitude of intersections between them.
We aim to create space(s) fostering agency and self-determination, solidarity and care that make room for a diversity of approaches, collaborative curiosity and playful exploration.
We are a non-profit, international, LGBTQIA+-centered, sex-possible, body-neutral, trauma-informed, neurodivergence-friendly, slightly cake-obsessed, mostly accessible, intentionally sober space run by a team of neurodivergent nerds in a constant precarious economic environment. We take donations.
Our Team
Caritia
no pronouns
Caritia’s fascination with the root/the body stems from a longing to deeply ‘listen’ to (her) body holistically, from the inside out. Passionately (and patiently) empathetic and fantastically flawed, boundaries and self-care are the guiding principles that keep this weaver of magik casting spells. Imbued with an Aquarian nature to embrace change and strive to empower others, Caritia remains in lofty utopias around the desire to let go of that which does not align with one’s highest good. Transformative states are acts of activism to Caritia. To create with/through/for the body is the greatest gift to this BIPOC, soulfully spiritual, fluid energy in femme form, educator, coach, performer, safe(r) space curator, and introverted mischief maker.
Mamana
they/them
Mamana is a non-binary queer person who is driven (and haunted) by being an unapologetic fire sign (Aries! Run for your lives!). They are a licensed therapist, an artist and academic working mostly with film, image, storytelling, and the body. They see themselves as a constant student and derive their knowledge from many different sources. They are interested in how the body influences perception, witnessing rituals, and transformative body processes that allow for trauma work.
Renée de Sans
she/her
Renée is a visual artist whose work is deeply rooted in the exploration of the human body, both from aesthetic and political viewpoints. Her art is a constant questioning of established norms surrounding identity, gender, sexuality, and societal taboos. Renée brings a calm and soothing presence to her work.
What sets Renée apart is her intuitive approach and her keen sensitivity to the sensations and emotions that come into play during human interactions. She finds inspiration in the profound vulnerability and insecurities within herself, seeing them as powerful assets that not only contribute to her personal growth but also have the ability to profoundly touch and move people through her art.
Ceci Ferox
they/them
Ceci is a queer, non-binary, and fat sexologist. They are a huge sex nerd with a special interest in shibari and have been teaching bondage and BDSM for 10 years. At Karada House, Ceci facilitates workshops, does sex and couples therapy, and supports strategic and day-to-day admin work. They also regularly take on the role of official house awkward and can be found doing weird little dances in the kitchen.
