Chelsea Amada, born in 1991, is an artist and cultural researcher currently enrolled in the Art and Digital Media program at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna since 2018. Her work delves into her identity as a Filipina born and raised in Vienna, exploring subcultures, mental health, and post-colonial mentalities.

Due to her commitment to fostering unity within the young Filipino diaspora community, she has been invited three times to the Wienwoche Art Festival. Chelsea utilizes her art to promote self-expression, identity formation, and the encouragement of critical perspectives.

Particularly notable is her role in conceptualizing the Filipino art festival KUBO. By presenting the idea to the Sentro Verein and leveraging Gerard Rabara's marketing expertise, the project was successfully launched. However, personal reasons led Chelsea to step back from the project before its completion in 2022, redirecting her focus to her personal artistic endeavors.
