Ajja

Ajja is a street artist working since 2008 in creating socially engaging painting events. Today she is working with a project at the association Södergården called “Ungas Konstvägg”. Where youths who are from 10 to 18 year old can create a mural art piece, helping them and giving them the means to create their art projects.  You can find her under the handle of Måleriverkstaden on most social media platforms.

Vlady

Vlady explores the poetic and political possibilities of space. His dynamic, ephemeral and sculptural works involve the body through gestures, architecture through interventions and the city through its society, in an investigation into the boundaries between private and public.

Vlady is a part of that generation of multidisciplinary artists who, with the new millennium (preferring a mononym), have dedicated themselves almost exclusively to unsanctioned art. This early 2000s legacy is quite evident: Vlady’s practice is still focused on public space, albeit in different forms. His minimal, spontaneous and socio-political work has given him some international visibility within urban/public art, resulting in articles, interviews and exhibitions across the European continent, from Spain to Russia. We can find Vlady’s name among the most renowned events of his artistic genre: Outdoor, International collective indoor show in Rome (2016); UrbanArt Biennale® 2017 in Völklingen (DE); NUART Street art Festival, Stavanger (NO), 2018; Nuit Blanche Paris 2019. He is featured in the books: “The Art of Rebellion IV – Masterpieces of urban art” (2016) by Christian Hundertmark and “The Stencil Graffiti Handbook” (2020), by Tristan Manco.
