PARISSA CHARGHI
Curator • Founder • SelectorPARISSA CHARGHI is an Iranian curator, creative producer, vinyl selecta, and founder of HEAVY FEELINGS, based in Cologne, Germany. Working at the intersection of music, visual arts, and artist development, she creates environments where creative identities can grow through collaboration, storytelling, and independent creation.
Deeply rooted in Jazz, Hip Hop, and global underground music cultures, PARISSA approaches every project through curation. Her practice brings together music, visual identity, and storytelling to develop artists and their creative worlds through long-term collaboration and collective creation.
This philosophy led to the founding of HEAVY FEELINGS; an independent artist development house and multidisciplinary creative environment rooted in DIY culture. Bringing together musicians, producers, filmmakers, designers, photographers, and visual artists, HEAVY FEELINGS develops projects through the continuous exchange between sound, image, and creative direction.
Alongside her work behind the scenes, PARISSA is an internationally active vinyl selecta. Her sets move fluidly across Jazz, Hip Hop, Reggae, Dub, Afrocentric sounds, Beats, and rhythm-driven electronic music, guided by an eclectic storytelling, cultural context, and the belief that music carries memory. Every record is selected with intention, revealing unexpected connections between genres, histories, and communities while creating immersive listening experiences that extend beyond the dancefloor.
Across every discipline, PARISSA’s work is grounded in one central idea: building the conditions in which artists, communities, and ideas can develop on their own terms.
