Floating Berlin is a self-organized space and group, a "natureculture site" (Haraway) and "third landscape" (Clément) situated in the rainwater retention of former airport Tempelhof in Berlin. Initiated in 2018, the Association is prototyping a collective and collaborative approach to the negotiation, maintenance and mediation of hybrid urban infrastructures in Berlin and beyond.

She is student of Art in Context (UdK Berlin). Serena started working as a student on the built structure at Floating University during its first opening period in 2018. From then on she has been curating the Thirsty Thursdays, supervising production and site care.
