“‘Mother’ is the single most interesting and confusing word that I know. Next to Black.” Alexis Pauline Gumbs, Why Mother’s day is a Queer Black Left Feminist Thing
Naomi Lulendo is a French-Guadeloupean-Congolese artist whose multidisciplinary practice examines how certain bodies, garments, objects, and architectures are perceived across cultural and geographical contexts, foregrounding their capacity to create new relationships between history and the present. Her research explores notions and representations of femininity and foreign bodies through vernacular, traditional, and esoteric practices in both the arts and sciences.
Alizé Rose-May explores in her artistic practice—which encompasses video, photography, objects, research, curation, and teaching—relationships, the concepts of kinship and family, traditions, connections, collectivity, and fabulatory spaces of coexistence. Her work focuses on archives, gaps in historiography, and the possibilities of communal living. They address the queer aspects of everyday life and highlight overlooked narratives by employing queer semiotics and a vocabulary of the intimate.
Nesrine Salem is an artist, author, and researcher. Through her written and visual polyglossia, she celebrates the plurality of her identity and conducts research on intergenerational trauma, tokenism, and mourning practices. She launched SABR/Collection in 2024 at Triangle-Astérides with @Postfirebooks. Recipient of Prix Occitanie-Médicis, she is preparing her next exhibition at the Crac in Sète (October 2026), following a residency at the Villa Médicis.
Ramaya Tegegne is an artist, researcher, and art worker based in Geneva. Through a transdisciplinary practice, her projects seek to amplify collective struggles, challenge the status quo, and foster mutual self-defence against institutions. In 2017, she launched Wages For Wages Against (wfwa.ch) acting for better working conditions for artists and an alternative economy of art. She is a co-founder of La Dispersion, an art and critical thought bookshop in Geneva.
