​About the Talk

​Have you ever noticed how your body changes in front of art?

​You step closer. Slow down. Hold your breath. Feel a chill, a soft warmth in the chest, or a quiet sense of calm.

​This talk explores how art is not just something we see, but something we feel and move through. From paintings to installations, our experiences unfold through the body, through movement, posture, and sensation.

​About Dr. Kühnapfel

​Dr. Corinna Kühnapfel is a postdoctoral researcher at the Arts and Minds Lab, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. Her research investigates emotional experiences with art and their impact on well-being, with a recent focus on aesthetic cognitivism and the emotion of wonder. She currently affiliated with the Research Platform Neurourbanism, where her work examines how public art and urban aesthetics shape perceptions of the city, affordances, well-being, and belonging in everyday urban contexts.


​She completed her Ph.D. within the ARTIS project (Art and Research on Transformations of Individuals and Societies) at the University of Vienna, where her dissertation examined how movement, body awareness, and bodily engagement with installation art shape aesthetic experience. 

​Her background is in Cognitive Science (B.Sc.) and Embodied Cognition (M.Sc.). 

​She is also a co-founder of EDGE e.V., an international non-profit that promotes collaboration between art and neuroscience through public programs.
