Musicboard Berlin: Choka

November - December 2023

Choka is a collaboration between Bolivian multidisciplinary artist Maque Pereyra and Brazilian experimental musician Ricardo Eizirik. Motivated by general aesthetic and thematic affinities they decided to form a platform for collaborations named Choka with the intention of expanding their practices within the realm of music, visual- and performative arts.
