"Between New York's after-hours and Berlin's basements, Dominga Huidobro and Ariana Paoletti found each other-now they're building a sanctuary of their own. Together, they lead ABOV, an emerging FLINTA collective grounded in refuge and liberation. Tracing back to the 1970s in Berlin from a lineage of intersectional spaces, FLINTA stands for Female, Lesbian, Intersex, Nonbinary, Trans, Agender, refining inclusive phrasing for some of the queer community's most excluded groups."
"Her genre-agnostic live outfit, Föllakzoid, has been touring globally in popular rock venues and avant garde spaces since 2007. In recent years, she's redefined herself as a DJ, dismantling expectations of the live artist by reframing her musical practice through an experimental lens. The allure of her ethereal essence extends beyond music; she was selected to score and walk in ⱯNꓕONIO ACUARIO's SS 2026 runway presentation at Madrid Fashion Week."
"Ariana, who performs as Volvox, has been a bastion of the underground for nearly two decades. Born in Brazil and raised in Buffalo, New York, they have traversed the winding pathways of alternative music, fashion, and culture. The historical depths of their knowledge informs DJ sets rooted in darkwave, electro, techno, and other genre defying sounds-each imbued with a kind of clairvoyance, leading as much as empathizing with the crowd."
Dominga Huidobro and Ariana Paoletti partner in life and work, DJing, performing punk shows, studying music, and finishing each other's sentences. They lead ABOV, an emerging FLINTA collective grounded in refuge and liberation, building a sanctuary between New York after-hours and Berlin basements. Dominga, a Chilean polymath and member of Föllakzoid, has toured globally and reframed her practice as an experimental DJ and fashion collaborator. Ariana (Volvox), born in Brazil and raised in Buffalo, shapes DJ sets from darkwave to techno informed by deep historical knowledge and familial healing traditions. Their collaboration creates ceremonial voyages extending beyond the dancefloor.
