Exploring visual music and sonic and digital arts from 19 to 29 September 2024, Sonica Glasgow 2024 invites Swiss artists Lukas Truniger and Marie Delprat to present their works at this year’s biennial festival, with the support of the Swiss Cultural Fund UK.

Truniger’s installation Distributive Intelligence illustrates the ways in which behaviours change across groups, and how the smallest actions can snowball into seismic trends. With the live show Ethereal Realms - All Fiction is Metaphor, Marie Delprat investigates female performance in a post-human world, inspired by sci-fi writer Ursula K. Le Guin. More information

Save the date!

As is the custom, we shall remember the events of that fateful night in December 1602, when the citizens of Geneva bravely repelled an attack by the Duke of Savoy.

Embrace the spirit of Geneva's history with costumes, Swiss wine, live music, and the delightful smashing of the chocolate cauldron - the Marmite. 

This event is for all ages, so plan on bringing the whole family along!
