On Level IV, in the empty exhibition space where the MWW collection is sometimes displayed, artists working at the intersection of various disciplines will perform. Edka Jarząb will open the event and Kuba Stępień will close it out. Each of them has developed a unique sound in which experiments with sound intertwine with danceable rhythms. The afterparty will transform the museum halls into a dance floor so we can all joyfully celebrate MWW’s 15th birthday together.

Eduarda Bones – is the DJ alias of Edka Jarząb, a sound artist and co-founder of the community-based Radio Kapitał. Drawing on the principles of deep listening, she uses radio waves, extended vocal techniques, and field recordings to create the audiosphere for her performances, theatrical works, installations, and radio plays. She collaborates with, among others, the experimental electronic studio WORM in Rotterdam and the research platform Q-O2 in Brussels. Her DJ sets are rooted in the belief that dance is a form of resistance and that her selections expand the colonised musical imagination.
Kuba Stępień (she/her) – works between Berlin, Warsaw, and her hometown of Bełchatów. Her artistic practice is based on a broadly understood process with a strong emphasis on experimental research, emotional critique, autotheory, and a trans-nonbinary perspective. The artist is a member of the metal music duo Bastard Bath and performs solo as a DJ. In her work, she employs video, performance, sound, painting, her own bodily fluids, and other media and materials that may be perceived as irrational or frivolous. Often operating within the framework of performative actions, she works with her own body, the collective body, an understanding of multiplicity beyond her own trauma, and the construction of queer worlds. Working across media, the artist interweaves them, seeking to explore concepts of indeterminacy that absorb fictions and fantasies in relation to visual representation – as alternatives to dreams. By challenging normative standards of communication and binary orders, she explores the potentials of non-normativity and subjective poetic language, treating her work as visual poems, codes, or representations.
