Geneva’s Military History

Art & Exhibits

Musée militaire

Two centuries of Geneva history told through uniforms, photographs, posters, equipment, and personal objects. Rather than simply lining up military artefacts, the museum places them back into the events and stories that shaped the canton from the Restoration to the present day.

Ferdinand Hodler: Profession of Faith

Art & Exhibits

Musée de la Réforme

Ferdinand Hodler: Profession of Faith examines for the first time the spiritual dimension in the work of Ferdinand Hodler (1853–1918). Through some twenty-five paintings, the exhibition traces his youthful biblical readings, his rare biblical scenes, and his relation to the Reformation and the city of Geneva. It also considers how notions of creation and the order of nature informed his symbolist language and his meditative landscapes, revealing the interplay between religious themes and formal concerns in his painting.

إنتظار En Attendant

Art & Exhibits

ICAM – l'Olivier

Abdul Rahman Katanani presents a contemplative exhibition curated by Barbara Polla that gathers artistic, philosophical and literary propositions to rethink the world and imagine solutions. The centrepiece is the drawings series «The Story Portals», created for this presentation. Through narratively charged drawings, Katanani probes memory, migration and collective imaginaries, inviting reflection on how visual storytelling can articulate ethical and social alternatives. The work balances poetic gesture and rigorous conceptual inquiry.

Momentum

Art & Exhibits

MABE Gallery

“Momentum” refers to that moment when a movement, once set in motion, gains its own force and paves the way for new possibilities. This group exhibition brings together Gisèle Bonin, Marie-Laure Davy, Adrien Menu, Cristina Alabau, Ana Baigorri, Clara Cebrián, Alice Trauttmansdorff et Olga Burkard, all united by a shared creative energy. Some are joining the MABE Gallery program for the first time, while others return with works that reflect an evolution in their practice, new lines of inquiry, and a fresh perspective.

Through a diverse range of mediums, materials, and gestures, “Momentum” gives rise to unexpected correspondences between the works. The various practices intersect without losing their distinct identities—all driven by a common desire to experiment, to shift boundaries, and to continue their own transformation. Conceived as a meeting point between discovery and continuity, the exhibition celebrates a living form of creation: one that moves forward, reinvents itself, and finds a new impetus through dialogue.

Opening: (AVV) 5 November, 16:00

MAMCO x SaSA x Joana Hadjithomas & Khalil Joreige

Art & Exhibits

SaSA

Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige present a site-specific project that juxtaposes archaeology, image and temporality. The presentation brings together works such as Palimpsests, Time Capsules and Trilogies, ranging from installations to photographic and film-based pieces. Working with archaeologists and adopting geological methods, the artists probe subterranean messages, historical ruptures and continuities, and the human and climatic forces that shape possible narratives. The exhibition foregrounds layered temporality and the politics of memory.
