On the left, Nahlla with her eyes closed wears vivid orange eye makeup and a flowing dress, her arms crossed over her chest in a calm, powerful pose. She is surrounded by purple tropical flowers, butterflies, leaves, and surreal elements including a crescent moon, a guitar, a drum, and a colorful bird. The background is deep blue with golden paint splashes. On the right, the title “NAHLLA: Latin Surrealism” appears in gold text, along with a laurel reading “Winner Cultivate @ Nexus Arts Residency 2026.”
Five performers stand arm in arm on a stage, smiling and bowing together at the end of a live performance. At the center is Nahlla wearing a flowing patterned dress, surrounded by four male musicians in light-colored shirts and trousers. Warm stage lighting creates an intimate atmosphere, with musical instruments visible in the background and audience silhouettes in the foreground, capturing a moment of celebration and connection after the show.
Nahlla lies sideways on a softly lit stage bed, wearing a flowing, patterned dress, with one arm raised toward her face in a dreamlike pose. Surrounding her are flowers, plants, candles, and decorative objects, creating an intimate, surreal atmosphere. A microphone stand is positioned near her, while projected abstract visuals resembling feathers or wings appear on the wall behind, casting layered shadows that enhance the poetic, immersive mood of the performance.

Nahlla: Latin Surrealism

An immersive live music experience inspired by Chía, the Muisca Indigenous goddess of the moon, and the shared biodiversity of Colombia and Australia. Led by Colombian artist Nahlla, alongside a four-piece live band and two dancers, the performance blends Latin American rhythms—cumbia, salsa, bolero, bambuco, and merengue—with contemporary experimental pop and rock. Through symbolic poetry, movement, and rhythm, it celebrates women’s empowerment, multicultural identity, and the power of art to create human connection, resilience, and hope.
