We won *the* prize! Les Complices* has received the Förderpreis Kanton Zürich—a beautiful nudge from the universe (and the Kanton) that the ripples are reaching further than we thought. The Government Council of Kanton Zurich awards these prizes annually to individuals or groups whose artistic or cultural work shows great potential. This recognition goes to our newly appointed curatorial team: Kay Zhang, Paloma Ayala, Thi My Lien Nguyen, Engy Mohsen, tracy september. We’re humbled, giggly, and slightly suspicious that someone out there believes in our mischief this much. This space didn’t appear out of nowhere—it was conjured and cared for by many before us. We bow deeply to our ancestral beings: Andrea Thal, who shaped the foundations; Gökçe Ergör & Martina Baldinger (2015–2017), who kept the spark going; Gökçe Ergör & Reem Kadhum aka the Janitor (since 2018), who reimagined its edges and depths; and Trinity Njume-Ebong (2023–2024), whose touch endures. To us, this prize is not just a pat on the back—it’s a shared celebration of collective dreaming, the value of slow brewing ideas, and a refusal to rush. It’s a reminder that transformation takes time, and that joy, trust, and troublemaking can (and should) coexist. We’ll keep experimenting, listening, conjuring, making room for messiness and possibility. We’ll keep centering the voices that systems often ignore. We’ll keep hosting, with all the complexity and care it takes. Thank you to all our accomplices—past, present and yet to come. Let’s keep making beautiful trouble, The curatorial team of LC*

Bringing together musicians from Switzerland and other parts of the world, SONOSYNTHESIS is a musical exploration of (trans)cultural, social and political intersections between musicians who are in community with each other across borders. The project was born from a series of residencies that took place in 2023 with 11 different musicians. During the residencies the musicians Echoes across explored ideas around collective authorship, “noise”, belonging, exclusion, care and community. To launch the SONOSYNTHESIS album, a release tour across Switzerland will take place featuring Yasmine El Baramway, NÂR, Kay Zhang, LEGION SEVEN, tracy september, and Siavash Nameshiri.

Following on from her research trip in 2022, Swiss-based artist tracy september (@_tra_9 ) has returned to Accra for a three-month residency hosted at Terra Alta Foundation (@terraalta_gh ). During her residency, tracy is developing a sonic documentary project focusing on ritual and communion. 🗯️ “In my time in Ghana I’m exploring the sonic potential of ritual, communion and fellowship. I’m interested in how they can be acts we can look towards as tools for survival in these rather unsettling times. I am spending my time taking in the many sights and sounds, doing research, field recordings, conducting interviews, organising food encounters and making music inspired by this incredibly special place; with the aim of gathering material to create a sonic documentary. Most importantly, I’m expanding my community. In this moment of multiple crises and failing systems, we’re communing and co-creating new rituals for much needed fellowship.” __________ #prohelvetia_johannesburg #prohelvetia_residency
