Her artistic work is characterized by activism and performance, decolonial and feminist practices. As part of her first residency, Moesha 13 will present a new work. She often includes sound documentation and captured material. Social politics intersect with her artistic output. Her hybrid club tracks intertwine deconstruction and a wide range of styles including: rap, gadjicore, trash metal, techno, and more, culminating in a musical aesthetic that is playful and creates a decolonial and queer stage for new soundscapes as well as persona.
With performances at Boiler Room, Berghain, CTM Festival, Creepee Teepee, 3 HD and NYEGE NYEGE and as a dancer in the Hakke Show (United Hardcore Against Racism & Fascism) she already takes part in the international club scene.

Website Take Over
Online Residency Program 2020
Since 2016, the collective dgtl fmnsm has been using online and offline formats to address the virtual potentials that lie in the contemporary performing arts and imagine what a theatre of the future might look like in digitalised societies. Following the thematic focus on “Intimacy”, dgtl fmnsm recently focused on the thematic complex “Disconnect” with an immersive installation in HELLERAU and an online festival at Hebbel am Ufer Berlin (HAU), albeit without being able to foresee how (sur-)real these specific questions would become in 2020 in light of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The thematic cycle “Disconnect” will conclude with a one-month online residency programme at www.digitalfeminism.net. From June 26th to July 23th 2020, artists and networks from various fields are invited to a one-week website takeover.
Things will be kicked off by Swiss performance artist Anna Fries, who is inviting us into the stomach of the pregnant monster with her digital body essay “The Host”. In the engaging multi-dimensional video installation, which is presented for the first time in the context of the residency, the audience can dive deep into questions of becoming, change and deviation as well as the mutation and transformation of body, identity and gender.
Linh Luu and Marvin Lalihatu are Animistic Beliefs, a DJ- and producer duo for futuristic clubsounds from Rotterdam. Together with new media artist Jeisson Drenth, they will work on the expressive worlds of the audio-visual work “CACHE/SPIRIT” in their residency, in which Animistic Beliefs otherworldly sounds are combined with Drenth’s unique visual language of techno-spirituality.
With Feminist Institutions, a whole network is coming into residence from Prague. Each day, a different institution or group will address their views on what it means to build a feminist organisation / structure and at the same time counter the art world’s obsession with individualism and competition
