For an especially intimate edition of our Kiezsalon, we head to ausland with two acts from North and South America both making their Berlin debuts: Amma Ateria brings her concept-laden sonic studies and Morita Vargas her surrealist pop experimentation, along with Berlin-based DJ Nischal Khadka.
Born in Hong Kong, Amma Ateria is an electroacoustic musician, sound artist and composer based in San Francisco and New York City. Manoeuvring between contrasts such as tension and release, her compositions aim for moments of transcendence.
Her most recent album, CONCUSSSSION from 2023, was developed during the process of cognitive recovery. Amma Ateria studied at Mills College in music composition with a specialisation in electronic music, audio engineering and media technology.

Hailing from Buenos Aires, Morita Vargas is a composer, singer, producer and performer of experimental music that blends traditional and contemporary approaches. Her albums Mandrágora from 2019 and 8 from 2020 traverse dream pop and ambient sounds, fluctuating from whispers to screams, for a reverb-heavy style she terms “hybrid fantasy”. Besides her creative work, she has offered workshops on music production to non-musician women and dissidents.

Nischal Khadka is a sound artist, independent curator, cultural organiser, and a DJ from Nepal. In 2022, he established a nonprofit organisation Transhimalaya Foundation for Transdisciplinary Creativity with the aim of making new art accessible to the public in the Himalayan region.
