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.

75 Years of Posters from the University Film Club

Art & Exhibits

Uni Mail

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

Liotard and Marie-Antoinette

Art & Exhibits

MAH

Jean-Étienne Liotard’s portraits of the imperial family, notably Marie‑Antoinette, include eleven drawings widely regarded as masterpieces. This project examines the identification of the sitter children and the works’ provenance through a cross-disciplinary investigation. In collaboration with the University of Oxford, the Idiap research institute and the School of Criminal Sciences at the University of Lausanne, historians of art and specialists in the eighteenth century join AI researchers and forensic experts to reveal new insights into authorship and history.

Investigating Border Violence, Promoting ‘Mobility Justice’

Art & Exhibits

Uni Mail

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.

Art & History Through the Ages

Art & Exhibits

MAH

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.

Reality Solvent – Hunter Longe

Art & Exhibits

Halle Nord

Artist Hunter Longe presents a sculptural installation exploring temporalities that outlast human experience. Overworked and found materials—shaped by erosion, human interventions and geological forces—form mutable constellations where micro- and macro-temporalities meet. The show stages collaborative works including a sound composition with Janiv Oron and ritual-inflected poems by CAConrad, amplifying poetic and material registers. Longe treats found objects as offerings from deep time, repositioning them to shift our perception of duration and agency.

Opening: Thursday 29 October, 18:00
