terrain meuble – Monika Emmanuelle Kazi

Monika Emmanuelle Kazi extends her exploration of movable partitions in a new installation that treats architectural panels as porous membranes. The work comprises four movable “walls” that serve both as screens and receptacles, staging a scenography in perpetual transformation. Kazi archives personal and familial narratives within these partitions, allowing gestures and performative interventions to animate shifting configurations. The installation foregrounds material histories and the entanglement of private stories with broader collective trajectories.

Opening: Thursday 17 December, 18:00

5 November – 18 December

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

Permanent exhibition

Two centuries of Geneva history told through uniforms, photographs, posters, equipment, and personal objects. Rather than simply lining up military artefacts, the museum places them back into the events and stories that shaped the canton from the Restoration to the present day.

Permanent exhibition

Ceramics and glass get their moment in the spotlight at the Ariana. From delicate porcelain to bold contemporary pieces, the collection shows just how inventive the “fire arts” can be, all inside one of Geneva’s most distinctive museum buildings.

26 October – 16 December

An exhibition devoted to ancient fakes, copies, imitations and falsifications. Drawing on selections from the Ostraca Collection, complemented by cast collection pieces and loans, the display examines the porous boundary between forgery, copy, imitation and authenticity. Interpretive panels, object labels and a slideshow on several notorious forgeries contextualize the works, tracing techniques, materials and historical practices that shaped both deception and scholarly detection.

25 September – 24 January

Ferdinand Hodler: Profession of Faith examines for the first time the spiritual dimension in the work of Ferdinand Hodler (1853–1918). Through some twenty-five paintings, the exhibition traces his youthful biblical readings, his rare biblical scenes, and his relation to the Reformation and the city of Geneva. It also considers how notions of creation and the order of nature informed his symbolist language and his meditative landscapes, revealing the interplay between religious themes and formal concerns in his painting.

Permanente exhibition

Big Bangs, tiny particles and some very big questions. CERN’s Science Gateway makes particle physics surprisingly tangible through hands-on experiments, real scientific objects, and immersive installations. You don’t need a physics degree — curiosity will do just fine.
