Students from the Centre de formation professionnelle en Arts (CFP Arts) present collective projects imagining Geneva in the second half of the twenty‑first century. Through garments, jewellery, ceramics, videos, comics, choreography, urban furniture, installations and digital or graphic works, they stage speculative scenarios—from utopian reinventions to dystopian provocations. Employing craft, performance, film and design strategies, the works probe technological, environmental and social futures, asking how everyday life, material culture and public space might be transformed.

Opening: Wednesday 9 September, 18:00.

28 August – 17 October

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

On its 40th anniversary, the association Traditions pour demain commissioned five photographers from Bolivia, Ecuador and Guatemala to present documentary photographs portraying daily life, ancestral knowledge and resilience among Indigenous communities of Latin America. The series explores entangled crises—climatic, social and cultural—that shape their present, using intimate portraiture and landscape studies to reveal survival strategies, intergenerational transmission and forms of resistance. The work invites reflection on living traditions as sites of knowledge and hope.

Wednesday 16 September, 20:00

Swiss artist Augustin Rebetez presents Tomorrow Never, a photographic survey of Russia produced between 2018 and 2023 across the Urals, Siberia, Yakutia and the Far East. Combining documentary portraiture and staged tableaux, the images map youthful counter‑cultures and provincial life under increasing isolation. Through collaborations and shared networks the work traces creative resilience amid harsh winters, vast distances and political contraction. Presented as a slideshow with live musical accompaniment by REA, the project builds a fragile bridge between East and West.

16 – 31 September

An intergenerational exhibition presenting the work of Jannis Kounellis and Julian Charrière, focusing on a material-based conceptual practice that spans over fifty years. The display brings installations and sculptural works into dialogue, foregrounding elemental media such as coal, combustion, metal and petroleum used as supports and vectors of history, political reflection, energy and symbolic charge. The juxtaposition highlights shared concerns about matter, industry and the traces of human intervention.

Preview (Geneva Art Week) in presence of Julian Charrière: Wednesday 16 September, 17:00.

Opening (Nuit des Bains): Thursday 17 September, 18:00.
