Artist Talk: Eljesa Beka

Eljesa Beka is one of the participating artists in the exhibition Make me coffee make me a sandwich, with the work, Terminal. You will be able to understand more about the concept of her work for this exhibition during the talk, as well as about her artistic practice in general.

Eljesa Beka, a Prishtina born and raised multi-disciplinary artist, has developed her career through a vast interest and work in music, film programming and literature. By having access to various synthesizers, hardware and film producing gear, while being part of the crew of the only alternative cinema in the city – Kino ARMATA, she learned how to work and experiment with sound, producing ambient-to-electronic music. Eljesa is also well known for her impeccable taste in music by DJ-ing at numerous local venues. Though she is usually a solo-artist, she also takes part in jam sessions with local and international artists and lately has also collaborated with two local musicians, forming the experimental music band ‘This is Not’. Eljesa’s talent and dedication to music, poetry and film have been ways of growing a deep appreciation for art and culture, and have served as channels for self-exploration and expression.
