Exhibition of the 5th Edition of the International Contest for Minority Artists

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.

Some Unresolved Remaining Feelings – S.U.R.F

Art & Exhibits

Arcadia

Martin Hyde presents an exhibition examining the relationships between painting, object, ceramics, design and poetry. His practice blurs boundaries between disciplines, producing works that sit between painted surfaces, ceramic forms and functional design, often scaled to engage the surrounding architecture. The show presents sculptural paintings and crafted objects that consider materiality, repetition and the poetics of domestic forms and scale.

Pre-opening & Talk “Art & Design at a Crossroads”: Tuesday 15 September, 12:00 and Thursday 17 September, 12:00 (register by email at info@galeriejoyderouvre.ch)

Fred Eerdekens

Art & Exhibits

Opera Gallery

Belgian artist Fred Eerdekens presents a focused body of work that examines the interplay of sculpture, language, light and perception. More than twenty pieces employ wall-mounted and suspended forms that use projected light to cast words and phrases in shadow, while freestanding sculptures resolve into legible texts only from precise viewpoints. The show foregrounds materiality and temporality, inviting viewers to reconsider reading as an embodied, spatial act where meaning emerges through shifting perspectives and illumination.

Discover Voltaire’s home

Art & Exhibits

Les Délices

Voltaire lived here — and that alone makes Les Délices worth knowing about. The historic residence houses manuscripts, artworks, and documents related to the philosopher and the Enlightenment. Access is more limited than at a conventional museum, so it works best as a special-visit recommendation.

In the Shadow of Discovery

Art & Exhibits

Musée d'histoire des sciences

Our eyes are naturally drawn to light and what shines. Yet what could be more fascinating than shadow? Shadows have enabled many fundamental discoveries: the shape of the Earth, the calculation of its circumference, the identification of electrons, and the understanding of planetary motion. They accompany us and enrich our thinking. Come and explore them to learn more about their role in science.

Exhibition in French & in English.

Hiwirhi Ipaattoni — Boîte d’Étoiles

Art & Exhibits

MEG

Mi Mawai and Madzerokai present an immersive audiovisual installation born from a residency exchange between the Brazilian Amazon and Geneva. The work invites immersion in Baniwa cosmology through video, layered soundscapes, flutes, traditional singing and dance. Visitors are invited to lie in hammocks and on mats for contemplative encounters with projected landscapes and ritual sonic textures. The piece foregrounds ancestral knowledge, collective memory and multisensory modes of storytelling.
