Rike Scheffler

Rike Scheffler (*1985) is a poet, musician and artist creating work at the intersection of language and music. Her work varies from poetry and poetical essays for publication in journals and anthologies (e.g. World Literature Today, Jahrbuch der Lyrik 2013-2019, to readings, concerts and performances (some solo, some with fellow musicians) as well as sonic ecosystems and spacial installations. As a live performer, she uses her voice, loop station, effect pedals and synthesizer, to create immersive realities challenging common perceptions.

Christiane Rechenmacher (A) CHRISTL MTH.

CHRISTL MTH. is an artist who cannot be framed. Her music, paintings and lyrics are uncompromising, critical and confrontational. She creates spaces where the presence of anger and love, fragility and strength are equally justified. In 2021 she released her first EP “A Room for her own” as CHRISTL. “I think I hate myself” is her debut.
