Auras: Babina Leta, Stereometrix LIVE, Hazy Flora, Samogulov, Pasha Plaha

Aûra is an event presenting a cross-section of the artistic activities of people from Belarus living in Poland on a daily basis. This is a look at the mutual exchange of cultural influences of the two countries on the example of musical, visual and performance activities. The artists involved in the project left Belarus due to political repression and the daily pressure of the regime. In their activities, they not only emphasize the universal nature of the subject of migration, but also contribute their own unique experiences and perspective derived from personal history.

The main axis of the program is diverse musical performances. The event will begin with a concert by Babin Leta, a unique combination of instrumental folklore and electronics. Discreet whispers and ambient sounds create a mesmerizing psychedelic soundscape, constituting a coherent interpretation of traditional elements with contemporary aesthetics.

The next concert is an exploration of the musical cosmos of Stereometrix. This artist comes from the world of painting, and his musical vision is a pure abstract journey based on experimental/dub/minimal style, enriched with retail sound design.

The duet Hazy Flora is a joint vision of Ilya Semashkevich and Mufer. During live performances, artists explore the potential of sound as a physical and relational medium, shaped by space, time and human presence

The last part is a DJ set by Samogulov, the curator of the label and the Natur series of events, showing the essence of the Belarusian underground selection.

The concerts will be enriched with specially prepared scenography, combined with the visual activities of Pasha Plaha.

HAZY FLORA — interdisciplinary artistic collaboration between composer and sound artist Ilya Semashkevich and musician and performer Mufer (Eugene Buldyk). The collective works at the intersection of sound, performance, installation and sensor-based systems, focusing on bodily perception, collective presence and environmental processes. Their practice develops through performative installations, live audiovisual works and site-specific projects, presented in cultural institutions, museums and experimental artistic contexts across Europe. Hazy Flora's work explores sound as a physical and relational medium, shaped by space, time and human presence rather than by narration or representation.

SAMOGULOV — co-founder of the visionary record label NATUR. Originally from Brest, Samogulov moved to Warsaw during protests in Belarus in 2020. There he began to develop as one of the participants of the local music scene and build connections between people from Poland, Belarus and Ukraine. During his sets you can experience the fusion of techno, electro, dub and tech-house, but he is not limited to strict rhythm. As dawn approaches, its sound shifts into a more spiritual, fragmentary and experimental vibe.

GLAFIRA STSELIUKOVA — Director of Visual Affairs and co-founder of NATUR, shaping the label's character and image beyond music. She was born and raised in Minsk, and began her artistic activity in Warsaw. Through her academic background and deep immersion in underground aesthetics, Glafira has shaped NATUR's visual identity and created visual styles for various labels, clubs and events. For her, design is not just a pretty picture — it's all about atmosphere, perception and experience. It creates not so much the image as the very nature of the publishing house.

She has worked with labels such as Penumbrum, Qualia, Asaloda, Detali, Synergy Cult and many others, as well as with clubs including Jasna 1 (PL), K-bar (PL), Bike Jesus (CZ), Les Enfants (ES), Planet Club (IT) and others.
