Johanna Poethig

Johanna Poethig works across public art, painting, installation and performance, developing projects with communities and architectural settings. Her practice includes civic facilities, parks and transit corridors, using murals, metal elements and sculptural forms to connect local histories with everyday public space. For AC Transit’s Cultural Corridor/Urban Flow, her CV records a nine-mile corridor between Oakland and San Leandro with artwork at thirty-four stations in 2020. She served as lead artist alongside Mildred Howard, Joyce Hsu and Peter Richards. Resilient City, commissioned by San Jose’s Public Art Program for its fire-training and emergency-management facilities, combines laser-cut metal figures, a cityscape and a non-repeating geometric pattern. The project credits One Hat One Hand’s fabrication process. Its dedicated page gives 2023, while her CV lists 2024; those source dates remain distinct from a confirmed installation date.
