OCTAVIAL SCAPE – Maïté Chénière
 
Its is a gem
 
(a pool) (a ring)
 
a space that changes space
 
 
 
 

 
 
Maïté Chénière adopts theoretical research, music, performance or video to create hybrid experiences. In their practice, they merge the cultural productions of queer people of colour, theoretical and popular knowledge to create an emancipatory discourse.
 
Mighty is an Afro-futurist DJ and founding member of the Archipelagogo club events that promotes the works of queer people of colour in Geneva. Through music, they travel in time and shed light on stories that have been ignored, in order to create a space of expression and gathering on the dancefloor for a multiplicity of bodies and identities.
 
They have presented performances at Un lieu pour respirer, Paris; Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin; Festival Les Urbaines, Lausanne, Théâtre de l’Usine, Cinéma Spoutnik, Geneva; D.A.F. Festival at the reliure, Geneva; Mains d’œuvres, Paris or at the Ateliers Claus, Brussels. Their work has also been presented at the Magical Solutions Congress, Leipzig; in Focale, Nyon; at the Spreechsaal Gallery, Berlin; at Circuits and Curents, Athens; at the Lac, Brussels, among others.
As Mighty, they have played in Paris, Berlin, Leipzig, Johannesburg and throughout Switzerland, eclectic sets revolving around House, and Ballroom.
