Lex Kartanė
Hi, I’m Lex Kartanė (they/them), a disabled queer artist and zine maker based in Berlin. My work explores themes of disability, neurodiversity, queerness, autism, gender diversity, and the human–animal connection. I create zines, art prints, pins, and postcards rooted in my personal experience and a drive for inclusion and care.
Zine-making is at the heart of my practice. An accessible, DIY medium that allows me to share stories, challenge ableism, and connect with others in an intimate and honest way. My zines often blend hand-drawn illustrations with direct, vulnerable writing. They are not about polished perfection, but about story telling, survival, and self-expression outside of normative systems.
Through my work, I aim to build space for reflection, recognition, and solidarity, especially for those who have been excluded or misunderstood.
