gammmarayy is a multi-genre, interdisciplinary artist, DJ, producer, creative and activist from Skopje. Since their move to Berlin in 2014, the city has enhanced their love for music and art. Their artistic practice spans a range of media, including music, photography, video, sculpture, performance, and centers on the nexus of critical race theory, class, gender and sexuality, social and environmental justice, and the migrant experience. While taking inspiration from and paying homage to its BIPoC, trans and queer roots, they see music as a powerful tool that sparks joy, imagination, resistance, social transformation and collective liberation.
