Judith Geffert is a radio documentary maker from Magdeburg, now based in Berlin. In their work, they like to explore the thin lines between journalism, art and academia. They make experimental radio features, narrative storytelling podcasts, radio plays, reportages and short journalistic pieces. Their latest radio play Kontaktanzeigen (Personal Ads for Lonely Hearts) explores the possibilities of dialogue across generations of queer people in East Germany. Since 2025, they have curated and hosted doku drops for Deutschlandfunk Kultur – a podcast for short experimental audio documentaries.

Breathing Exercise was produced for THE ECCO, an audio community project founded by Jasmin Bauomy. The idea for the piece was created during a 5 day retreat in Italy with the help of THE ECCO community, and then shaped during a 3 months peer review period with loving and caring input from Nadia Mehdi, Martina Pouchlá, This Wachter and Jasmin Bauomy.
