Leila Alaoui’s photography presents a humane, boundary-crossing vision that interrogates identity, migration and the lives of migrant workers. This exhibition brings together iconic series, rarely seen photographs and coherent photographic ensembles to reveal the dignity of her subjects and the visual language that frames their stories. Through portraiture and documentary practice, Alaoui explores gender, displacement and cultural interconnection with formal rigor and emotional clarity, forging intimate encounters that bridge histories and territories.
Opening: Wednesday 6 May, 18:30

Entrelacés brings together pre-professional students from Dance Area and the Area Jeune Ballet in a two-part programme. The first section traces the history of dance, from ancient ritual forms to the evolution of classical and contemporary vocabularies, evoking centuries of technique and transformation. The second presents three original contemporary works by Juliano Nunes, Ken Ossola (“Un Autre Jour / Another Day”) and Alba Castillo, performed by 42 young dancers exploring vulnerability, resilience and solidarity through intimate and ensemble choreographies.
Momar Seck presents a series of drawings that accompany his new monograph Poïétiques. Through delicate studies of foliage, roots, textures and organic forms, Seck explores the invisible links between matter, nature and emotion. His sensitive visual language oscillates between close observation and inner poetics, inviting the viewer to slow down and perceive the subtle traces left by time, the earth and the breath of life. The show establishes a dialogue between image and writing.
Opening and book signing on 11 June at 18:30.
