Now, this is our house – Spatial Queer Choreographies investigates how queer subjects negotiate and transform public, private, and domestic space through performance, gathering, visibility, and occupation. Rooted in queer theory and embodied experience, the project reimagines a suburban house in Geneva as a platform for collective cultural production, where domestic space becomes a site for queer expression and encounter.
Rather than altering the house through extensive demolition, the intervention preserves its existing structure, including its doors and windows, while introducing a series of design elements that interfere as little as possible with the original building.
Technical and public devices are attached to the house to support performances, concerts, gatherings, and other community events throughout the year, both summer and winter. A stage, technical infrastructure, a bar, and sanitary facilities extend the house’s capacity to host collective activities while maintaining its recognizable domestic character.
The project proposes a continuous negotiation between domesticity and queer ways of inhabiting space, where existing architectural conditions and new public functions coexist in a dynamic spatial choreography.
