Don’t just like it, live it!

Saturday 31 January, 17:00 & 19:00

Artist Josèfa Ntjam presents A Constellation of Blackness, a hypnotic 33-minute sound-performance that weaves spoken word and instrumental improvisation. Situated within the Anti-Nymphs program, the piece reimagines Greco‑Roman myth through feminist and Afrofuturist lenses, collaging sampled fragments of twentieth-century Black voices. Ntjam invokes African mythology, ancestral rites, religious symbolism and science fiction to explore Blackness, darkness, antimatter and the sense of cosmic kinship, creating a dense, ritualised atmosphere that is both lyrical and confrontational.

29 January – 1 February

Art Genève assembles galleries, institutions and numerous contemporary artists across painting, sculpture, video, digital practices and sound installations. The fair juxtaposes intimate booth presentations with large-scale and commissioned works, exploring questions of authorship, authenticity and institutional networks.
Dedicated sections for experimental formats and music foreground immersive, sonic and monumental pieces, while publishing projects and prizes highlight emerging practices. The presentation examines how contemporary art circulates, engages publics and reframes cultural exchange.

29 January – 8 February

Vibração das Cores brings together seven Brazilian artists whose practices interweave memory, movement and cross‑cultural belonging between Brazil and Geneva. Painting, sculpture, installation, mosaic, drawing and mixed media engage in a vibrant dialogue of colour, material and rhythm.
Sergio Augusto’s dreamlike canvases, Miriam Da Silva’s score‑like colour rhythms, Karla Gomes’s spiralling abstractions, Zaq Guimarães’s cellular constellations, Isabela Pot’s luminous mosaics, Cleide Saito’s playful figurations and Edgard Soares’ found‑object sculptures reveal inventive visual languages that evoke emotion, narrative and formal freedom.

Opening Thursday 29 January 18:00.
Closing reception Sunday 8 February from 14:00.

28 January – 8 February

Follow a tender little creature who, having fallen from its nest, must learn that soft fur won’t let it fly and that its path lies on the ground. Braving seasons and elements, it walks step by step through encounters both hostile and kind, discovering its place in the world. The journey unfolds within a mechanical storytelling stage: a moving conveyor, dreamlike landscapes and chimera characters create poetic, animated tableaux that feed this curious hero’s adventures.

In French. Kids ages 6 and up.

Saturday 31 January, 11:00 & 16:00

Enter a living rainforest through film and live sound. Watch Kéria and her cousin Selaï as they care for a baby orangutan and face the loss of their ancestral forest. Live percussion and bird songs weave with recorded chirps, water and wind to shape the scene. Short musical bursts and soft calls make you feel the trees, the hush and the movement. The story mixes adventure and tenderness while inviting curiosity about nature and where we belong.

In French. Kids ages 6 and up.

Saturday 31 January, 15:30
