With music, performance art, and film, Bonaventure is attempting to materialize feelings dwelling between empathy, mourning, and celebration. Her practice allows the creation of practical and speculative languages while finding new ways to belong in the culture continuum of Otherness. By addressing questions of displacement and the diasporic imaginary within a decolonial context, Bonaventure builds expressive systems of repairs that value the poetic notions of Blackness, queerness, technology, and spirituality.

Her debut single “Complexion” was released on NON Worldwide in 2016. The following year, Bonaventure released on the New York label PTP her debut EP “FREE LUTANGU”, followed by “MENTOR”, released by the famed UK based label Planet Mu. Bonaventure’s frequent collaboators include Hannah Black and Ebba Fransen-Waldhor with whom she created the ever-growing piece “ANXIETINA” that was presented in major institutions such as ICA & Chisenhale Galery in London, MoMA PS1 in NYC, the MuMOK museum in Vienna, the Centre Pompidou in Paris and as part as the Berlin Biennale. In 2019, she co-conceptualized and performed the theatre piece “Close Friends” with Ramaya Tegegne and presented it at the TU, in Geneva.

Immediately after, she joined Korakrit Arunanondchai and Boychild on a new iteration of their durational collaboration titled “Together”, commissioned by the Biennale Performa, NYC. Based in Kampala since November 2019, she was awarded a “Swiss music Prize” for the body of her work. Her show “Window Seat”, created in collaboration with Alfatih opened at Fri Art Kunsthalle in the spring of 2021, and the same year, she toured “Taking Care of God”, an hybrid performance starring the collective Kingdom Gospel Club, that explores the relation between the “Club” and “Church” scenes. “Taking Care of God” was produced by Eternal, and co-produced by the Arsenic theatre (Lausanne), Gessnerallee (Zürich), Südpol (Luzern), Kaserne (Basel) and the Grütli theatre (Geneva).
