AURA is a multidisciplinary artist based in Düsseldorf, Germany. Combining drag, visual arts and online aesthetics, they create virtual worlds in collages, paintings, video art and performance.
Inspired by the workings of social media, Aura’s work centers around the topics of privacy, human connection and living in the digital age.
A co-founder of many endeavours, AURA hosted drag performance formats like Velvet Curtains, which quickly racked up a large ensemble of local and international alternative drag artists, founding the first recurring live drag stage of state capital Düsseldorf. AURA’s stage work has since included multiple plays at TMD Düsseldorf and Malkasten Düsseldorf.
In 2023, AURA founded TOO MUCH, a Düsseldorf based artist collective producing drag shows, parties, and more. Together with AURA's in-house production hub AURA inc., TOO MUCH is the creative mind behind the drag show YOURS TRULY.
Beyond their artistic pursuits, Aura has successfully ventured into event production with AURA INC. This project has curated and organized a series of themed parties that offer immersive experiences and safer spaces for the local queer community.
You can find their work on Instagram
and not so serious work on their TikTok.
