perating at the intersection of club culture and radical sonic
architecture, KA-RABA is a Swiss-based sound auteur, DJ, cultural
consultant, and the visionary architect of OKRA. Her practice bridges
visceral dancefloor energy with the intellectual precision of an acoustic
designer, creating hypnotic, bass-driven environments where
Afrofuturismcollides with cutting-edge electronic experimentation.
KA-RABA's adaptable sonic footprint spans premier international music
landscapes and prestigious art institutions alike—from France’s
Transmusicales Festival Rennes, Elysia Basel, and the Montreux Jazz
Festival, to Bozar in Brussels, Liste Art Fair Basel, and the Snow League
Championship in Laax.
Evolving her practice into creative management and artistic direction, she
steers complex, interdisciplinary projects with OKRA, including
experimental moving-image installations like the short film "Everyday
Blackness," commissioned by the Kunstmuseum Basel. Whether behind the
decks, managing large-scale cultural projects, or contributing as a
strategic advisor and architect of social structures, KA-RABA uses sound as
a transformative, architectural tool to alter physical spaces and anchor
collective identities.
