Don’t just like it, live it!

2 – 6 November

Wright Colloquium 2026 brings together interdisciplinary inquiry to rethink what we call intelligence. The program examines intelligence across scales — from artificial systems and ant colonies to neurons and engrams — and considers cognitive, neurological and philosophical perspectives. Participants will explore how different forms of intelligence shape societies, knowledge and our worldviews, with discussions, panels and workshops aimed at advancing conceptual and practical understanding.

In French and in English.

28 October – 11 November

Set between domestication and escape, La zone nono follows a troupe of ragged yet endearing animals seeking community and freedom. Two table puppeteers and two musicians bring to life quirky creatures through live music and songs, blending humour and poetry. The staging balances intimacy and playful invention, exploring solidarity, resilience and the pull of the wild. The show is performed in French and mixes witty storytelling with musicality and inventive puppetry.

Cinq patient·es. Cinq raisons d’être là. On ne sait pas encore lesquelles. En thérapie, c’est une séance, cinq personnes et tout ce qui peut arriver quand on commence vraiment à parler. Avec Adrien Laplana, Dardan Shabani, Lionel Perrinjaquet, Lygia Pavitt et Marine Delacrétaz.

28 October – 8 November

Lola Jay investigates memory, imagery and the ways we reconstruct our past. Working at the intersection of painting and visual culture, she produces oil paintings and painted-objects that reinterpret family photographs, film stills and found images. Her compositions borrow photographic framing to isolate gestures and everyday fragments, questioning how selection, framing and repetition transform recollection. The exhibition examines the porous boundary between intimate and collective memory, showing how images do not merely preserve the past but reshape and remake it. Lola Jay is based in Geneva.

Opening : 28 October, 18:00

Sunday 8 November, 14:00

Chilean documentarian Patricio Guzmán’s monumental Battle of Chile chronicles the last months of Salvador Allende’s government with unflinching proximity. Combining rigorous observational footage, testimony and political analysis, Guzmán captures public assemblies, factory life and mass mobilisation as history unfolds. This early trilogy—parts I–III—shaped his lifelong interrogation of memory, power and exile, blending investigative urgency with poetic reflection. Shot with intimate close-ups and collective panoramas, the films probe trauma, hope and the ethics of remembering.

We meet the founder of Galerie Mezzanin to talk about discovering emerging artists, building lasting relationships with collectors and why experiencing art in person remains irreplaceable.
Søren Henrichsen blends Scandinavian simplicity with Swiss precision and craftsmanship. His designs are quiet, purposeful and made to last. For him, curiosity and courage are at the heart of good design.
