ULTRA MARTINI
Ultra Martini is a multidisciplinary artist working across film, theatre, performance, music, writing, sound and image. Their practice draws on the body, personal experience and the artist’s real exposure to investigate the boundaries between fiction and reality, representation and presence, document and invention. Ultra holds a degree in Performing Arts from UnB, studied Film Directing at AIC, and specialized in Dramaturgy at PUC-RS. Their works include Feiura Comovente, a film and musical performance combining performance, cinema and bodily exposure; Brutal, a performative dramaturgy bringing together theatre, liturgy and trans experience; and Deeper, a virtual reality experience co-created from near-death experiences and developed at the intersection of performance and immersive imagery.
MOSHTARI HILAL
Moshtari Hilal is a visual artist and writer based in Hamburg and a co-founder of AVAH (Afghanistan’s Visual Arts and History). In 2023, her literary art book Feiura (Ugliness), published in German by Hanser, received the Hamburg Literature Prize in the non-fiction category and was nominated by Stiftung Buchkunst as one of the “most beautiful German books”. In Brazil, Feiura was translated into Portuguese by Gisele Eberspächer and published by Dublinense.
Together with political geographer Sinthujan Varatharajah, Hilal published Hierarquias da Solidariedade (Hierarchies of Solidarity, 2024) and Inglês em Berlim: Exclusões em uma Sociedade Cosmopolita (English in Berlin – Exclusions in a Cosmopolitan Society, 2022), both with Wirklichkeit Books.
