I will be part in the upcoming “Salon Souterrain: Bodies in transformation!”, both with my Art and live as a guest for the panel discussion. I am already very much looking forward to this event and a lively exchange!


"Salon Souterrain: Bodies in Transformation!"

Wednesday July 13th, 2022

Time: from 5pm, panel discussion at 7:30pm Location: MQ – Libelle, Museumsplatz 1/5, 1070 Vienna / part of ImPulsTanz Festival's Performances this year



Transformation: BODY

What is old? There is a new way of looking at the body, the old body, the aged body. Covid has brought it into the foreground, shows like Germany’s Next Topmodel into the spotlight.


In her musical­-discursive for­mat Salon Souterrain, which rethinks the bourgeois idea of the salon in the context of current debates regarding transformation, Elisabeth Tambwe and her guests explore the “silver economy” and the new hype around grey hair on plasticized and profitable bodies.

In doing so, they ask the actually important question: What does it mean to grow old?

+++ About the event series

Salon Souterrain was created by the artist Elisabeth Bakambamba Tambwe as a response to the increasing exclusionary dynamics that have become the hallmark of our societies in Europe. In its mise en place, the series of Salon Souterrain therefore demonstrates the desire to create common spaces for mutal exchange and artistic production. The aim is to open up possibilities of debate, to offer thematic and nomadic encounters in order to discuss social issues within an artistic format.


Salon Souterrain transfers the bourgeois concept of the salon into the reality of the 21st century and anchors it in the city of Vienna. This year, a series of four salons will revolve around the theme of “transformation”. Each salon takes place in a different location in cooperation with a partner institution. Thereby every salon follows a specific dramaturgy with a programme in serveral parts – classical music concerts, performances, exhibitions, panel discussions followed by DJ sets and accompanied by poster campaigns in public space.

The salons will be moderated and introduced in a keynote by a guest speaker.
