Drawing from his Lyon hometown's Canut revolts heritage and his Martinique Neg marron origins, Souklaye began with DIY social justice activism before developing his signature action poetry and protean political happenings.His craft evolved through a durational radio show at French independent station RCT, leading to uniquely lyrical, sonic, and politically charged live experiences that blur audience boundaries. Notable works include Depopulated at Judson Church, BE HAPPY OR DIE at Fridman Gallery, solitary venice at Barbican Center, and Liquid Soul at Helsinki Central Library Oodi.Recognized among the top 100 Contemporary Artists by Aesthetica Art Prize, Souklaye is a commissioned artist for International Contemporary Ensemble, lecturer at IRCAM Paris, and current resident at Harvestworks. His essay "Living Liveness" appears in Art As Social Practice: Technologies for Change (Routledge, 2022).
