Frank Steinhofer

Frank Steinhofer, born in Dahn (Germany) in 1981, is a novelist and since 2016 has been working as a freelance author for 'Der Spiegel', 'Süddeutsche Zeitung' and international magazines such as 'The Architectural Review'. Previously, he was part of the editorial team of the independent art magazine 'Dare' for seven years. His debut novel 'Das Terrain' (The Territory), about a new type of museum building on the edge of the rainforest, was published in 2021. His literary work explores issues of ecological justice, art and climate, and natural building methods.

In 2021, with the Brazilian writer Ailton Krenak, he initiated the Culturscapes Festival, which focused on the Amazon, with his critically acclaimed essay 'For a climate change of perception'. In 2022, he exhibited a poetry installation from the perspective of fungi and plants at the Vernacular Institute in Mexico City. Years of research from Mexico to Brazil, from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Namibia have informed his writing, as have the social philosophies and environmental justice movements of the Americas. He is based in Mexico City and Dahn.
