Wounded Healer is a performative concert by Mala Herba, combining live music, visuals, stage design, and ritual elements into an intense, multisensory experience. The performance developed from musical material into a live performance format, where sound and the body become tools of expression, transformation, and collective experience.

The concert engages with themes explored in the exhibitions Body. Pleasure and Pain and Utopias of the Present, investigating the body as a space of tension between pleasure and wound, fragility and agency. Wounded Healer treats the body as an archive of experiences and a field for practices of care, where healing is relational and collective rather than purely individual.

Mala Herba is the solo artistic and production project of Zosia Hołubowska. Their music defies genre classification, blending industrial and experimental electronic sounds with traditional Polish folk music, ritual structures, and expressive vocals. Mala Herba’s practice can be described as a queer reinterpretation of sound archives and magical narratives, which in the concert format function as a contemporary ritual.

The visual setting of the concert is created by Joanna Zabielska—an artist and designer working at the intersection of digital art, design, and architecture. She specialises in 3D scanning, photogrammetry, and motion capture, creating immersive environments for VR and AR. By combining data from the physical world with virtual space, she develops interactive narratives and world-building practices, ranging from games and animation to physical and virtual exhibitions.

The performance at Krupa Art Foundation is the performative culmination of the exhibition program—a temporary, intense “utopia of the present,” where sound, image, and audience presence merge into a single live experience.
