Krista Papista

Krista Papista is a multifaceted artist and music producer born in Nicosia, Cyprus, and currently based between Athens and Berlin. Her work spans music, performance, video, and more, often blending elements of Greek, Middle Eastern, and Balkan folklore with computerized punk to challenge homogeneous narratives. Papista's artistic approach is characterized by its political and anarchic nature, frequently incorporating dramatic performances that reimagine history and traditions. Her latest album, "Fucklore," is a notable example of this approach, as it pays tribute to the lives of murdered migrant women in the Mediterranean.

Papista has gained recognition for her energetic live performances, including a groundbreaking Boiler Room show in Athens, and has toured extensively across Europe, performing at events like Fusion Festival and Creamcake. Her music and performances are known for their high aesthetics and flair for drama, often involving theatrical elements like smashing plates on stage or crowd-surfing. With releases like "Sonnenallee" and "Fucklore," Papista continues to push boundaries in the music scene with her unique blend of cultural influences and subversive storytelling.
