Sarah Benslimane, winner of the Manor Cultural Prize 2025, takes over the Palais de l’Athénée with a major exhibition. A French-Algerian artist based in Geneva, she creates paintings and sculptures that mirror the flow of images and stories from the digital age. The exhibition, produced in collaboration with the Société des Arts of Geneva, is housed in the Crosnier and Saint-Ours rooms. A monograph will accompany this project.
The ASL is marking its 45th anniversary with the immersive exhibition “Léman, l’éveil d’un peuple” (Léman, the Awakening of a People). This exhibition chronicles the fierce battle to rescue Lake Geneva from suffocation between the 1960s and 2000, driven by the collective efforts of associations, scientists, fishermen, journalists, and institutions. It offers a journey filled with documents and personal accounts, reminding visitors of the power of individual action in protecting the lake. The event features a variety of activities suitable for all ages, including fun missions for children, conferences, and guided tours. It also highlights the lake’s current challenges and encourages active engagement in its preservation.
Anjesa Dellova’s work, Finding Words, Fighting Words, delves into the challenging journey of weaving a fragmented identity into a comprehensive narrative. Drawing inspiration from Albania’s intricate cultural history, the exhibition brings this complexity into the dynamic physicality of her paintings. The display is further enriched with an accompanying text by Paolo Baggi.
Finissage: Thursday 13 November, 18:00 – 21:00

For his first solo exhibition in Geneva, Gregor Hildebrandt transforms Galerie Mezzanin into a poetic space of memory and transformation. Using materials such as magnetic tape, vinyl records, and audio cassettes, he reinterprets the physical traces of the analog world, turning familiar forms into sculptural and pictorial works. His installations evoke themes of transfer, nostalgia, and the fragility of memory, reminding us that remembrance once had a tangible medium. Balancing irony and reverence, Hildebrandt questions the role of the artist in an age dominated by digital reproduction, suggesting that art now resides not in direct representation of reality, but in the layered density of collective memory and desire.
Opening: Thursday November 13, 18:00 – 21:00
