Puissance 5 brings together five women artists from different generations in a dialogue between matter and spirit. Their intersecting trajectories produce works where gravity, metal, graphite and cosmic imagery become recurring motifs. The exhibition presents pieces in metal, pencil and mixed media that interweave tactile presence and poetic restraint, exploring materiality, perception and the enduring force of feminine creation across time and space.
Opening: 16 September, 16:00
Cameroonian photographer and visual artist Martin Abega presents a body of work that transforms image into material. Combining photography with textiles, embroidery, cowrie shells and charcoal, he stages photographic compositions and object-based pieces that investigate metamorphosis of body and mind. Themes of ordeal, fragility, trace, transmission and regeneration recur, often through the female figure as emblem. Curated by Ngalula Mafwata, the work opens a contemplative space that asks what remains after transformation.

Border Forensics presents an audiovisual exhibition of investigative films documenting violence at borders.
Excerpts from three films, The Death of Blessing Matthew (2022), The Death of Roger Nzoy Wilhelm (2025) and Asymmetric Visions (2023), combine documentary footage with geospatial analysis, data visualization and 3D modeling. The works reconstruct contested events, interrogate aerial surveillance and Mediterranean migration control, and foreground communities affected by border violence. The project examines how images and data can document abuses, challenge official narratives and advance claims for mobility justice.
Opening: September 22, 18h30 – speeches, performance, drinks.
Artists from minority communities present works responding to war and reconciliation, exploring identity, territory, place and community. Through installations, photographic series and mixed-media pieces, the exhibition examines how cultural memory, displacement and local ties shape artistic strategies. The selection highlights the role of minority artists as human rights defenders, using visual language to question histories of conflict and modes of repair. Curatorial texts frame dialogues between personal narrative and collective memory.
Awards ceremony: Tuesday 24 November, 19:00
Objects tell stories here — about people, beliefs, traditions, and the way cultures meet. The MEG draws on collections from around the world, while also asking timely questions about where museum objects come from and how their stories should be told today.
This autumn presentation, organised around a list dedicated to Futurism, brings together tracts, exhibition catalogues, journals and books that trace the movement’s restless energy and radical modernity. Among the highlights is an autograph manuscript by Giovanni Papini, containing a crucial text in the history of Futurism, alongside a Futurist letterhead adorned with the celebrated Pugno di Boccioni. The selection offers a focused encounter with rare printed matter and archival material shaped by one of the twentieth century’s most forceful avant-garde currents.
Opening: (AVV) 5 November, 16:00
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.
