Florian Luthi. Fantômes Météores

Maison de l'enfance et de l'adolescence (MEA)

Free

Photographer Florian Luthi’s Fantômes Météores is inspired by the 1954 wave of UFO sightings across France, especially along the Franco‑Swiss border. From one of these accounts he revisits childhood landscapes—mist‑shrouded forests, deserted villages and the Jura—and composes a photographic narrative where truth wavers and legends endure. The series uses long exposures, muted palettes and staged absence to probe memory, collective fear and the boundary between documentary and myth. A collaboration with Fondation Convergences.

Le Verre, au-delà de la matière

Art & Exhibits

Musée Ariana

An extensive survey assembled from a long-standing research collection devoted to glass, this exhibition takes a contemporary look at a millennia-old material. Over two hundred glass and mixed-media works, including sculptural objects, design pieces and installations, testify to a transdisciplinary experimental spirit. Featuring artists such as Ettore Sottsass, Pierre Charpin, Betty Woodman, Bob Wilson, Giuseppe Penone, Jana Sterbak and James Lee Byars, the show examines materiality, technique and the porous boundaries between craft, design and contemporary art.

Opening : Thursday 23 April, 18:00

Édouard and Marguerite Naville

Art & Exhibits

MAH

This exhibition explores the careers of Édouard Naville, Switzerland’s pioneering Egyptologist, and his wife Marguerite Naville, whose contributions alongside him are now recognised in their own right. Through archival documents, excavation records and pharaonic objects, the presentation illuminates their archaeological practice and Marguerite’s role, while situating their work within the political, religious and humanitarian commitments that shaped scholarly life at the turn of the twentieth century.

In French and in English.

Hiwirhi Ipaattoni — Boîte d’Étoiles

Art & Exhibits

MEG

Mi Mawai and Madzerokai present an immersive audiovisual installation born from a residency exchange between the Brazilian Amazon and Geneva. The work invites immersion in Baniwa cosmology through video, layered soundscapes, flutes, traditional singing and dance. Visitors are invited to lie in hammocks and on mats for contemplative encounters with projected landscapes and ritual sonic textures. The piece foregrounds ancestral knowledge, collective memory and multisensory modes of storytelling.

Arts, Minorities and Human Rights

Art & Exhibits

Quai Wilson

Curated presentation gathers laureates of the International Competition for Artists from Minorities (2022–2025), bringing together around thirty artists such as Zahra Hassan Marwan, Babatunde “Tribe” Akande and Mehdi Rajabian who interrogate dominant narratives and resist erasure. Through painting, photography, sculpture, digital art, installations, performance and music, contributors blend testimony, memory and activism.
Four thematic axes—statelessness; intersectionality; memory in the present; belonging, place and loss—shape a multidisciplinary dialogue that foregrounds minority voices and asks how art can testify to, preserve and reclaim marginalized histories.

Opening: Monday 3 August, 18:00

3 July – 5 September

Intermezzo, Part 1 & 2

Art & Exhibits

Skopia Art Contemporain

Intermezzo, Part 1 & 2 brings together works by Vincent Fournier, Franz Gertsch, Fabrice Gygi, Thomas Huber, Pierre Schwerzmann and Franz Erhard Walther. The group show stages a dialogue between photographic practice, painting and sculptural or performative interventions, highlighting contrasts of scale, materiality and pictorial space. Through composed images, painted surfaces and tactile objects, the exhibition considers modes of representation and the viewer’s bodily relation to works, encouraging slow looking and attentive spatial experience.

In the Shadow of Discovery

Art & Exhibits

Musée d'histoire des sciences

Our eyes are naturally drawn to light and what shines. Yet what could be more fascinating than shadow? Shadows have enabled many fundamental discoveries: the shape of the Earth, the calculation of its circumference, the identification of electrons, and the understanding of planetary motion. They accompany us and enrich our thinking. Come and explore them to learn more about their role in science.

Exhibition in French & in English.
