Rokolectiv hosts SHAPE+ artists in residence

In the frame of the ATOPIA residencies, Rokolectiv invited SHAPE+ artists Bella Báguena and Maryana Klochko to Romania to work with local visual artists and music producers, and get a better insight into the local art and music communities.

Bella Báguena is a Spanish trans woman who works with different disciplines such as music, performance, jewellery and other media. During her residency in Cluj, in April 2023, Bella worked together with visual artists Adrian Ganea and Thea Lazăr. You can watch their new collaborative video here.

Maryana Klochko is a music producer, vocalist and film composer born in Western Ukraine. In her works she often deals with the unconscious, through lyrics and vocal parts, seeking a balance between the real and the fictional. Maryana collaborated with Future Nuggets musicians Ion D and Inana, in May 2023, on new music outputs. Listen to their new tracks here.

Their collaborative performances will be presented on 25.05.2023, at Control Club, in Bucharest.
