Afterparty acts
Amina Szecsödy (born 1995) works across theatre, choreography, and visual arts. Her work engages text, sound and the body to draw on elements of pop culture, newspaper articles, cinema and mythmaking. She edits, cuts and pastes dissonant voices and phenomena of the past and the future into the immediate present. Via this process of what she calls ‘siphoning off’, Szecsödy develops new complexities and combinations of language and gesture. Szecsödy holds a BA in Performing Arts from Malmö Theatre Academy and an MA in Choreography and Performance from Giessen University.
Brenda mixes sounds, ideas, vocals, melodies and rhythms from the arabic sound world with the western sound world. In everything she does, whether producing music or DJ:ing, you’ll hear those two worlds collide.
David Neman is a Swedish photographer based in Malmö. Educated at Mid Sweden University in Sundsvall, he has had his work exhibited across Europe. David blends photography of personal relationships with various moments and encounters. His photographs becomes a documentary bridge between perspectives, emotions, and stories, where the raw and authentic meet the dreamy and subjective.
Ollbult serves up steamingly outdated hits mixed with a touch of zouk! Great confusion surrounds what is truly Swedish. Ollbult delivers a detailed and incredibly groovy interpretation of Swedish music history, drawing from Svensktoppen, country covers, bargain-bin vinyl, and, above all, a whole lot of top-notch women artists. Check out his mixtapes—they bring good vibrations.
Alexander Höglund is a part time artist, part time culture event organizer and part time corporate professional. Works span from simple drawing to big live action role plays.
