75 Years of Posters from the University Film Club

To mark the 75th anniversary of the university Ciné-club, the cultural activities office of the University of Geneva presents a retrospective of emblematic posters. The selection traces several decades of film programming and campus cultural life through graphic images, typography, and changing visual styles. Rather than a simple archive, the exhibition becomes a visual narrative of cinephilia, collective memory, and the evolving role of cinema within the university community.

Opening: 4 November

An unprecedented exhibition traces the mask’s presence across continents and eras through 84 historical masks and contemporary creations. The displays juxtapose objects from Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania and the Americas without geographical or chronological order, inviting reflection on the universal need to mask. Themes range from ritual, theatre and carnival to cinema, sport and contemporary art, addressing questions of identity, memory and protection through sculptural form, material practices and performative context.

28 October – 8 November

Lola Jay investigates memory, imagery and the ways we reconstruct our past. Working at the intersection of painting and visual culture, she produces oil paintings and painted-objects that reinterpret family photographs, film stills and found images. Her compositions borrow photographic framing to isolate gestures and everyday fragments, questioning how selection, framing and repetition transform recollection. The exhibition examines the porous boundary between intimate and collective memory, showing how images do not merely preserve the past but reshape and remake it. Lola Jay is based in Geneva.

Opening : 28 October, 18:00
Closing : 8 October, 17:00

Permanent exhibition

One museum, centuries of stories. Geneva’s largest museum brings archaeology, fine arts, and decorative arts under one roof, moving from ancient civilisations to major European and Swiss artists. A classic for a reason — and big enough to warrant more than one visit.

16 September – 4 November

Béchir Boussandel presents a body of work that unfolds from shadow and the heat of desert palettes. Through paintings, sculptures and delicate bird watercolours populated by anonymous figures, he examines displacement, crossing and survival within North African desert landscapes. The pieces use ochres, reds and material contrast to evoke memory and shifting identities, employing an atmospheric visual language that balances figuration and absence.
