This solo performance by Juan Pablo Cámara traces the contours of attention and encounter. Combining subtle gestures, spoken fragments and calibrated pauses, the piece unfolds as a durational portrait that navigates memory, presence and the politics of looking. The artist’s restrained physicality and keen listening create a charged atmosphere where small actions accumulate into emotional clarity. Presented within the ‘First impressions’ residency curated by Jade Meili Barget.
Artist Maëva Weissen presents a collaborative exhibition of handmade flags created by pupils and apprentices from the DIP through guided creative workshops. Using recovered textiles and artisanal techniques, the works interrogate national symbols, folklore and textile know‑how to probe questions of Swiss identity and its coexistence with multiple cultural roots in Geneva. The pieces combine textile craft, assemblage and photography to reflect on adolescence, belonging and the environmental footprint of the fashion industry.
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
Photographer Dany Gignoux’s work, presented alongside texts by Georges Haldas, offers a sensitive documentary portrait of Geneva café life in the early 1980s. The exhibition gathers photographs and associated archival material that reveal everyday interactions, interiors and social rituals of bistro culture.
Curator Eloi Contesse’s guided tour focuses on Gignoux’s photographic archives, illuminating the artist’s approach to framing, sequence and context, and how images and texts together evoke memory, community and the rhythms of daily life.
The Tender Buttons exhibition offers a multidisciplinary exploration centered on buttons, delving into their identity and historical significance. Featuring over three hundred ceramic and glass buttons, the exhibition interacts with the museum’s works to highlight their role in both formal experimentation and socio-cultural narratives. The exhibition’s architecture evokes the commercial arcades of the 19th century, a pivotal era for button industrialization. Curated by Claire FitzGerald, the exhibition is supported by the Swiss Fashion Museum and showcases never-before-seen pieces from several prestigious collections.
Canadian-French artist Sylvie Lambert (b. 1984, Montréal) presents her first solo exhibition, unveiling a new body of work produced predominantly since 2025. Through layered painting, sculptural assemblage and immersive installations, Lambert investigates materiality, perception and the boundary between representation and objecthood. Her practice combines painterly gestures, found materials and discreet colour studies to interrogate memory, embodiment and the politics of surface, inviting sustained attention to texture, scale and fragile systems of meaning.
