Minor Tides

Free

Minor Tides brings together three young photographers — Lina Geoushy, Sarah Jade Sullivan and Farren van Wyk — who centre portraiture in work that interrogates family histories and cultural heritage.

Through staged and documentary photographic portraits, the artists examine collective identity, colonial legacies and processes of reclamation: Geoushy revisits pioneering women in Egypt’s past; Sullivan documents youth in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines navigating economic and colonial afterlives; van Wyk stages family portraits that rework violent colonial iconographies and affirm mixed identities. The exhibition traces subtle currents of change beneath visible histories.

Opening: Wednesday 1 July, 18:00

EXEM aux urnes – 40 ans d’affiches politiques

Art & Exhibits

Quartier Libre SIG

EXEM aux urnes – 40 Years of Political Posters brings together 40 political posters by Geneva-based illustrator EXEM between 1988 and 2023. Spanning nearly four decades of Swiss direct democracy, the exhibition explores the distinctive language of political posters at the intersection of graphic art, satire, and political commentary.

Through EXEM’s sharp and engaging imagery, the exhibition traces the political issues and communication styles that have shaped Swiss public life, and offers insight into the artist’s creative process and the stories behind his iconic posters.

Opening: Tuesday 1 September, 18:00

Brave la Nuit / Poems for Ruptures / نعبرُ الليل

Art & Exhibits

FMAC

Curators Ghalas Charara and Rita Elhajj present the second part of a two‑part exhibition that shapes a liminal space between listening and gesture. Through acts of defunctionalization, duplication, displacement, fragmentation and sabotage, the participating artists generate potentials for action and reclaim rhythmic breaths, steps and voices. Works from the host collection sit alongside invited pieces to evoke survivance, mourning and resistance, where memory becomes an embrace enacted by bodies searching for—sometimes finding—ancestral gestures through repetition, dance and semantic shifts.

Opening: Thursday 17 September, 18:00

18 September – 31 October

Pierre André Ferrand

Art & Exhibits

Skopia Art Contemporain

Swiss artist Pierre André Ferrand presents a restrained body of work that examines the conditions of image-making and the illusionistic nature of painting. The show brings together oils on canvas and works on paper, employing a deliberate economy of means, pared visual codes, and an intimate awareness of artistic limits. For more than thirty years his practice has pursued an intellectual and spiritual enquiry, inviting a slow, contemplative viewing that seeks out potential and subtle perceptual shifts.

23 September – 11 October

Station 505

Art & Exhibits

Parc des Bastions

Swiss artist Andreas Kressig presents Station 505, a temporary sculpture-pavilion conceived as an architectural and sensory intervention. Built in relation to an existing fountain, the work paradoxically conceals and reveals water while offering both an exterior sculpture to contemplate and an interior space to inhabit. Through material presence and spatial thresholds it interrogates public versus private realms. The project is activated by shared moments with the artist centred on a communal tea service and reflections on its diverse cultural interpretations.

Short Ass Attention Span #3

Art & Exhibits

L'Arcade

Conceived by artist Pauline Coquart, Short Ass Attention Span #3 mixes literary experiment and live performance, assembling texts that range from apocalyptic sketches to risqué autofiction and political essays on sexuality. Editors and collaborators Ethan Assouline and Gaia Vincensini shaped the selection and the edition’s visual identity, while attentive editorial direction and inventive layout treat writing as performative material. The project foregrounds plural contemporary voices, shifting between intimate confession, sharp aphorism and sprawling narrative to create a charged, porous atmosphere.

Opening: 17 September, 18:00

Au creux de nos âmes

Art & Exhibits

Gallery Brulhart

Anne-Marie Akplogan presents a body of paintings and mixed-media works produced during a recent residency in Paris. Focusing on legs and feet, the works probe the language of the body, the breath of the soul and the memory embedded in the foot. Through layered paint, varied textures and sculptural handling of surface, Akplogan situates intimate anatomy within sensitive, spiritual and anthropological registers, inviting reflection on movement, ritual and embodied memory.

Opening: 27 August, 18:00
