About

Claudia Hill is a Berlin-based artist whose interdisciplinary work is rooted in textile, weaving and performance. Hill came to textile art from an extensive career in fashion and costume design. From 1998 to 2011 she ran her own fashion label, presenting internationally in New York, Tokyo, Paris, Berlin and other cities. Her work in performance includes collaborations with choreographers and companies such as William Forsythe, The Wooster Group and Meg Stuart.

Hill uses weaving and textile as primal forms of creation to explore material, transformation and forms of connection. Her work ranges from woven paintings to large-scale sculptural tapestries and collaborative weaving projects.

Recent exhibitions include Kate Werble Gallery, New York (2024), Haus Kunst Mitte, Berlin (2023), Shedhalle, Zurich (2022), and a solo exhibition at Efremidis, Berlin (2021), marking the publication of her book Social Fabric Earth Return (Bom Dia Books). Hill has also presented work at mumok Vienna, Paris Internationale and HAU Hebbel am Ufer Berlin.

Her projects have been supported by the National Performance Network, Fonds Darstellende Künste and the Berlin Senate for Culture and Europe, among others. In 2025, Hill conducted artistic research with the Centro de Textiles Tradicionales del Cusco and Quechua communities in the Peruvian Andes. In the same year, she began teaching as an adjunct lecturer at the University of Fine Arts Münster.
