Nadine Migesel
Nadine Migesel is a German-Palestinian with Israeli and German citizenship. She has family in Haifa and Tel Aviv and lived there herself for almost a year in 2013.
After studying Sustainable Design, she became a self-employed tattoo artist. After ten years in Cologne and working as a tattoo artist in her own studio - Atelier Noir nu - she is now moving to Berlin.
Besides her studio, she enjoys working on various other projects: feminism, sustainability, socio-political issues, and queer topics are of particular interest to her. Due to her multicultural background, she engaged extensively with the Middle East conflict and Israeli, Palestinian, and queer culture in her adopted homeland - even during her studies - through her art. For the past five years, Nadine has used her Instagram channel to address political issues and use her reach for activism.
Since October 7, 2023, she has also been a co-founder of the Cologne-based initiative "Palestinians and Jews for Peace." The group, comprised of Jewish and Palestinian friends, has already organized two demonstrations in Cologne and advocates for a nuanced discourse on the war in Israel and Gaza, as well as a shift in narratives in Germany.
Since the beginning of 2024, Nadine has been working for "Gesellschaft im Wandel/Society in Transition" as a mentor for the "Trialoge" project.
