Maya Aghniadis
Maya Aghniadis
Maya Aghniadis, known as Flugen, is a Lebanese musician, composer, and sound explorer blending electronic textures with organic sounds. Rooted in drumming from an early age, her musical path grew to include piano, guitar, and later, a deep interest in film scoring and sonic storytelling. Inspired by travels and life between Beirut and Athens, her music carries a sense of movement, memory, and cultural fusion. Under the name Flugen, she creates atmospheric compositions that drift between ambient, jazz, and experimental genres, often shaped by field recordings and acoustic instruments such as Guitar, Flute and Baglama.
Her releases like Lost Banjo, Dreams & Colors, and Penté reflect an introspective spirit, weaving musical stories with only few words. Maya is also one half of Almwaya, an electro-acoustic duo exploring Mediterranean soundscapes. Whether composing solo or collaborating, her work invites listeners into dreamy, cinematic spaces rooted in emotion and place.

Christina Zambulaki
Christina Zambulaki
Christina Zambulaki is a Greek-American artist, working predominantly in sculpture, installation and video art. Her practice depends on the ‘each other’; in the premise that the material that builds up our world is alive, and our bodies work with theirs. She sees organisms in our ecosystem as caretakers. Through their infrastructures, systems and processes, they work for our survival. Her work is focused on the organisms making up our food and the food supply chains that are formed within the Western capitalist system. Her research evolves around our eating habits and how these are devised by the geopolitical forces that take place within a globalized network. She sees food as a political tool that forms and narrates both the human body and civilization, but also as a living matter, an alive ecosystem that reflects our world.
