ARTIST COMMUNITY
A whole bunch of amazing creative people who have blessed us with their performances.
Flávia Dias
Based in London, Flávia has a background in Theatre Arts and production. She is an experimental performer, director and model. Her main work focuses on the relationship between artist and audience, finding herself conducting immersive theatre. At Farrago Festival she is choreographing the performative runaway collaborating once again with House of Donyi to the underground fashion designers: Marian de Lima, Charlie McMahom, Blythe Brunt and Viliana Korueva.
LO-LOW
LO-LOW's sets are designed to take listeners on a journey through various aural portals, finding freedom in expression on the dancefloor and creating feelings of euphoria and community. She blends eclectic selections of deep house, techno, electronic, ballroom, breakbeat, and pop to capture her playful essence. As a self-confessed club kid and music enthusiast, LO-LOW found her way into the world of music through journalism, writing for CLASH Magazine. Currently, she holds the reins as a resident at E1. This year has been a success for LO-LOW, with fan feedback deeming her sets as "vibes as unmatched" and praising her for "taking people through many portals." She opened at Colour Factory, representing the Thorn London collective at HOWL: Queer City, Vol.4 in February 2022 and played at Riposte's Pride Party in July. LO-LOW also gained her first show outside of London in August 2022, where she played the pre-party for Scotland's number one queer alternative night, SHOOT YOUR SHOT. Furthermore, she opened for CEM and Giant Swan at Phonox and played an extraordinary three-hour set ahead of DJ Bone at one of London's most iconic clubs, Fold.
Joana Simães
Joana Simães is a visual artist from Felgueiras, a small town in the district of Porto, Portugal. After studying Fine Art in high school, Simães moved to London in 2020 to pursue a degree in Fine Art at Middlesex University, graduating in 2023.
The core of Joana´s work goes from classically executed figurative oil paintings to more graphic paintings with the use of flat colors and less shading, onto hard surfaces in various sizes. Inspired by artists such as Goya and Michael Borremans, Simães explores the subtleties of human experience through both painting and, on occasion, video art.
