Sandar Tun Tun is an artist, DJ and composer whose work builds around fabulation, new alliances, and collaborative trajectories. Their sonic, spatial and performative practice centers listening as a critical and sensitive responsiveness. Engaging with music as a social space and its transgressive potential, their projects explore forms of reverence or interversion to inhabit dissonance, fragmentation and noise. Their research focuses on transmission within aural cultures and engineered narratives, diasporic feelings and queer affects, often through language experimentation, collective strategies and co-compositional processes.

They studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy and the Dutch Art Institute (DAI, Arnhem), and are currently based in Marseille.

 

Recent exhibitions include: Swiss Art Awards, Basel, 2025

Songs of Sown Seeds, solo show, Espace 3353, Geneva, 2024

Visual artist, writer, and performer, Ife Day, born in Haiti and based in France, their work blends texts, drawings, videos, and dance. Through the multiple discharges provoked by displacement, Ife Day explores recurring motifs: dreams, the ecology of leftovers, and wandering, in order to thwart all unidirectional trajectories and make possible a reinvention of the commons. In an open circuit of incorporation and outpouring, she develops spatio-temporal and corporeal textures inspired by Caribbean worlds.

houaïda is a producer, singer, performer, and scientist who takes a transdisciplinary approach to critically examining Western and normative perspectives on sound, music, and performance. She holds an MA in astrophysics and draws on scientific methodologies and embodied practices, focusing on radical sensuality, collectivity, and pluralism.

She believes integrating these approaches can contribute to a shift in Western thought, fostering a more meaningful way of living and dying within the Pluriverse.

Alongside her solo work as houaïda where she performed in various festivals such as CTM and Pop Kultur, and as a member of the Talking Straight collective, she has contributed to different theatre and dance productions, including performances at the Haus der Berliner Festspiele, the Maxim Gorki Theater, and Gropius Bau.
