Performance marathon by the K++V Swarm with Annika Hausherr, Cosima Zora, Florin Garzotto, Iris Nufer und Lucy Stossfellner, Jasmin Rolli, Kyrillos Nyx, Lis Kleiner, Luis Stadler, Martina Schädler, Maysam Imran Alsous and Keone Lee, Meret Schüpbach, Momo von Hettlingen, Rahel Hauri, Sara Loosli, Stephanie Anna Motz (class of Sunny Pfalzer, University of Applied Arts and Science Lucerne) and guests

The experimental collective K++V Swarm shares a one-hour program featuring 13 mini-performances and screenings. In the spirit of pIAR, everyone was welcomed to participate – a playful process rooted in queerness, community, and the desire to speak about the world we share. 

Their work pulses with solidarity for queer communities in Ghana facing severe oppression – a legacy with Western fingerprints. As a mostly white group, they’re asking: What does allyship really look like? How can we hold space for nuance, difference, and tough conversations? Together, they’ve created a space for vulnerability and collaboration – a living act of intersectional activism – a new generation of unapologetically political voices.

The K++V Swarm formed within the performance class of artist/curator Sunny Pfalzer at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts – Design, Film & Art – with Annika Hausherr, Cosima Zora, Florin Garzotto, Iris Nufer and Lucy Stossfellner, Jasmin Rolli, Kyrillos Nyx, Lis Kleiner, Luis Stadler, Martina Schädler, Maysam Imran Alsous and Keone Lee, Meret Schüpbach, Momo von Hettlingen, Rahel Hauri, Sara Loosli, Stephanie Anna Motz
