She has performed in various local and international clubs as well as festivals, hosts her own radio show on Swedish Retreat Radio and in 2022 released her EP "Medusa" on Morbit Exile. Welia's musical taste is broad, which reflects in her distinct productions, always characterized by unexpected drum patterns and her own distorted and sometimes heavily manipulated vocals. Expect a creative journey through experimental, abstract UK techno, breakbeat and ambient sounds.

"Walking among these strange new surroundings, I keep wondering, are they just as suspicious of me as I am of them? I leave parts of myself behind wherever I go, and now I’m reassembling. Looking in the mirror, I can’t seem to make out the shape of my own face, but there’s something moving behind me. Canvas creeps around the corner, lights are flickering. Plaster peels off the walls, with cracks spreading wide like pulsating veins. I turn around and I realize: This space is not actually empty, it is filled with absence. My feet are suddenly wet, my body soaking up with water. But I’m not drowning, I branch out, my socks grow into a beautiful tree. My ribcage has fallen out, yet I still feel so very alive. The walls of this house, they hold my breath."

Group exhibition: 'Riot within'
Währinger Straße 128
8.-18.11.22

Opening: 8.11., 17-22:00
Closing: 18.11., 17-22:00

Life is a riot of emotions - fear being one of the most powerful among them. Sparked through a variety of factors, such as social injustices and distorted realities, this intense feeling might manifest in panic attacks, phobias or the fear of not fitting in, up to the point of an enduring state of angst. Dealing with the uneasy side of life can be overwhelming at times, overcoming or submitting to fear seemingly the only choices we have. The exhibition “Riot within” shows artworks that approach different aspects of fear, and explore ways of confronting and dealing with it.

With artworks by Stefan Kainbacher, Roman Prostejovsky, Chucky Schuster and Manfred Unger; curated by Anemona-Ligia Spanache.

More impressions of Cycle I: Landscapes of time
30.6.- 9.7.2022

The artworks shown in the first cycle of “Tempor[e]alities” explore material traces of time and give us a glimpse into the manifold ways temporality is perceived. They examine the ways objects, environments and humans change, which can take the form of decay, erosion and destruction, but also growth, regeneration and evolution - unveiling the relative and multilayered nature of time.

With artworks by Adina Camhy, Kevin Daryl Ferdinandus, Natalia Gurova, Selin Karaman, Maximilian Prag, Roman Roth & Anna T. - and a mysteriously appeared fax from the legendary krëlex zentre!
