Istituto Svizzero presents ora d’oro, the closing event of the 2022/2023 Fellows. Curated by Ilaria Mancia, the event will pass through the golden hours, from sunset to night, unveiling unexpected apparitions that will open up the boundaries for new possibile imaginaries. An ambivalent space of exchange, of gift, and desire, where a contradictory past coexists with possible new futures.

A DJ set by soungou will close the evening.

Hailing from Zürich, soungou (FUBU) is excited to find his place in the nocturnal playground of music and celebration. His style is best described as a mix of diasporic* and black* deconstructed club. His ultimate goal is to create new biotopes for queer BIPOC. As soungou concludes «it’s about celebrating ourselves and caring for each other».
