An immersive exhibition exploring neutrinos, the nearly undetectable particles that traverse Earth by the billions each second. Through large-scale photographic works, scientific models, archival imagery and interactive displays, the show traces the experimental ingenuity behind detectors such as Super Kamiokande. It juxtaposes cutting‑edge instrumentation with poetic reflections on scale, invisibility and the cosmos, inviting visitors to consider how technological precision reveals fundamental processes that shape our understanding of matter and the universe.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s herbarium, compiled in the 1770s for the printer-bookseller Charles-Joseph Panckoucke, is presented through preserved pressed specimens, its original catalogue and related botanical publications. The historical collection combines scientific observation and aesthetic arrangement, revealing Enlightenment approaches to collecting, classification and the popularisation of plant study. Detailed notes and annotations illuminate Rousseau’s techniques and the materiality of specimens, inviting reflection on how personal curiosity and scholarly networks shaped early modern natural history.
This exhibition pays tribute to Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, a seminal figure of Australian Aboriginal art and a pioneer of the Western Desert painting movement. Drawing on Dreaming stories and the ancestral landscapes of his Anmatyerre heritage, Possum translated traditional sand and body painting motifs into monumental canvases that intertwine myth, geography and memory. His richly patterned, large-scale works balance Indigenous cosmology with a striking sense of modern abstraction, affirming his lasting influence on global contemporary art.
Opening during the Nuit des Bains, Thursday 22 January, from 18:00.
Marie Ducaté presents Simultanés, an installation that transposes the spirit and traces of her studio into a theatre of objects. Combining ceramics, tracing paper, watercolor, textile and glass, the work sits at the intersection of pop culture and art history. The installation foregrounds a chromatic range from vivid colour to transparency and investigates the sensuality of materials, inviting close attention to texture, surface and the intimate relationships between form and materiality. Curated by Claire FitzGerald.
Belleville-based photographer Souleymane Fofana, known as Commeas and also a player with JA Drancy, presents a body of photographic works that approach football through instinct and immediacy. Using motion, blur and saturated colour, he captures energy rather than fixed form, privileging rhythm, perception and spontaneous gesture over technical precision.
The images emerge from intuitive, in-the-moment shooting, a visual language of movement that evokes play, chaos and collective intensity. The presentation runs alongside the film Belleville nous verra toujours danser.
Senegalese artists Mao Sidibé and Def Mama Def, together with dancers from École des Sables, present Oya – Clima Yaakaar, a collective project responding to the climate crisis. The work merges music, contemporary African dance and photography to foreground the health impacts of environmental change on vulnerable communities. Photographer Sylvain Cherkaoui contributes a visual layer that links performance with lived experience and humanitarian realities. The project evokes resilience and calls attention to collective hope and urgent care.
