Maison Culturelle Surville is a community cultural house located in a villa in Surville, Petit-Lancy. It functions as a socio-cultural centre hosting workshops, exhibitions, artist residencies, performances and community activities. The venue aims to promote inclusion, intergenerational programming and local participation, serving as a neighborhood hub for cultural creation and social cohesion.
Cécile Koepfli creates a site-specific window installation of colorful, poetic drawings. Mischievous characters, everyday objects, and fragments of text assemble into a playful, sensitive imaginary world. The works, rendered directly on window panes, unfold as tableaux and narrative vignettes that invite viewers to imagine the activities and encounters that will animate the space.
A seek-and-find game encourages close looking and slow discovery across the illustrated surfaces.
Join artist Matthieu Grillet for creative neighborhood walks and hands-on workshops. Explore streets with cameras and words, sketch corners, and build colorful maps from photos, drawings and shared memories. Collect leaves and press them into a small herbarium. Bring a personal object to tell a story for a community mini-museum. Expect lively sounds, bright colors and playful collaboration that sparks curiosity and creative thinking.
