Inspired by the literary world of Leonora Miano, this series of paintings portrays a fictional people embodying a utopian vision of Pan-Africanism. Through richly imagined figures and narratives, Ismaël Touré explores identity as plural, fluid, and deeply rooted in a shared collective memory.
Opening: Thursday 25 June, 18:30
Song Ruijin presents her first institutional solo exhibition, assembling a new series of paintings and ceramic sculptures within a site-specific installation. She constructs an unstable universe where the sky becomes ground and interior merges with exterior, populated by emoji-like figures that reflect individual alienation and the absurdities of digital capitalism. Through a syncretic visual language of accumulating imagery—sometimes comforting, sometimes unsettling—her sensory installations reveal logics of exploitation and control affecting human and non-human actors.
Opening: Thursday 28 May, 18:00
The MAH showcases Tonutopie, an innovative installation by German artist Hans-Walter Müller, a trailblazer in inflatable structures. This large, transparent, and habitable sphere, nestled within Vincent Lamouroux’s La Passerelle, offers a unique sensory experience. It delves into the contrasts between the fluidity of inflatable structures and the rigidity of traditional architecture, providing visitors with a fresh perspective on space.
Géométries marocaines shows works from Ghizlane AGZENAÏ, Meriam BENKIRANE, Ines-Noor CHAQROUN, Yousef DOUIEB, Yacout HAMDOUCH and Younes KHOURASSANI, exploring geometrical forms and shapes in dialogue with Morocco.

To mark 30 years of Hortus Botanicus Helveticus, this exhibition presents the diversity and conservation work of Swiss botanical gardens through thirty panels. Each display showcases living collections and highlights the scientific, conservation and educational roles gardens play in safeguarding plant biodiversity. The presentation combines photographic and interpretative elements with botanical specimens to reveal how gardens document, protect and communicate the value of plant life.
Dany Gignoux (photographer) and poet Georges Haldas present a compelling dialogue between documentary photography and lyrical prose. The exhibition brings together photographs and written fragments that register everyday life in Geneva’s cafés, combining on-the-spot reportage with memory-infused “prose inspirée.” Through intimate black-and-white images and spare, evocative texts the works transfigure mundane scenes into poetic testimony, revealing social undercurrents and human tenderness. Archival materials frame this historic encounter between two generations of cultural chroniclers.
Artist Lou Cohen presents a body of work that dialogues between still and moving images. Working with dry pastel, oil paint and short films, she stages interactions within the same installation, confronting static representation with motion. Her practice employs irony and darkly comic tones to translate everyday reality and prompt critical reflection. The works explore perception, narrative tension and the theatrical potential of materials, inviting careful viewing and reconsideration of what images can reveal.
Opening: Thursday 4 June, 18:00 (Salle Crosnier)
Meeting with the artist: Thursday 25 June, 18:00 (Salle Crosnier)
