‘Black ID’ is an installation comprising a series of portable sculptures associated with Swiss and Rwandan folklore. The artist explores the themes of identity and cultural reappropriation. Through the misappropriation of objects and their association, Brutus Labiche attempts to put forward an interpretation of Afro-Swiss experiences.
Brutus Labiche, born in Butare, Rwanda in 1993, is a self-taught artist. After working as a model, art director and fashion designer, she turned her attention to visual art. Her work explores the experience of black women through a variety of media, seeking to express profound and nuanced realities.

MEG X CCA
The Centre Culturel Afropea (CCA) is an itinerant organisation that operates in the interstices of institutions, contributing to an Afro-diasporic perspective by programming interventions by artists, researchers and performers.
As part of its ‘carte blanche’ at MEG, the CCA is organising three events: a performance by artist Brutus Labiche on Sunday 20 October 2024, open to questions from the public and in dialogue with the MEG collections; two film screenings and a conversation with curator Greg de Cuir Jr on 10 November 2024 around the film ‘Les statues meurent aussi’ (Resnais, Marker); and, finally, a lecture by Trinity Mesimé Njume-Ebong and a Gilles Furtwängler performance questioning coloniality and whiteness on Saturday 7 December 2024.
