Louise Desnos: Acedia

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

Free

The Acedia project by French photographer Louise Desnos offers a contemplative photographic exploration of slowness, fatigue and intimacy. Through sensitive, minimalist compositions and staged portraits, Desnos elevates inertia and non-events into a quiet poetics. The series examines idleness as resistance, a space for introspection and for reclaiming autonomy. Photographs emphasize material textures, soft light and the presence of bodies at rest, inviting viewers to reconsider cultural prejudices about productivity and rest.

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.

Puissance 5

Art & Exhibits

Galerie Rosa Turetsky

Puissance 5 brings together five women artists from different generations in a dialogue between matter and spirit. Their intersecting trajectories produce works where gravity, metal, graphite and cosmic imagery become recurring motifs. The exhibition presents pieces in metal, pencil and mixed media that interweave tactile presence and poetic restraint, exploring materiality, perception and the enduring force of feminine creation across time and space.

Opening: 16 September, 16:00

28 May – 10 September

Crossings

Art & Exhibits

Gowen Contemporary

Crossings brings together Swiss artist Maria Ceppi and Japanese artist Tami Ichino in a poetic dialogue exploring memory, transformation, and the hidden resonance of everyday forms. Through sculpture, painting, and assemblage, the artists reinterpret familiar materials and natural elements into evocative compositions that move between abstraction and recognition. Blending intuition, symbolism, and material experimentation, the exhibition creates immersive spaces where personal narratives intersect with broader reflections on nature, coexistence, perception, and the shifting relationship between humanity and the world around us. Hosted by GOWEN Contemporary, Crossings invites viewers into a contemplative journey where objects, landscapes, and emotions continuously evolve across forms, meanings, and states of being.

30 July – 12 September

Accrochage

Art & Exhibits

Galerie Rosa Turetsky

Accrochage d’été brings together selected works by Andrea Gabutti, Etienne Krähnembühl, Laurent de Pury and Jean‑Patrice Rozand. The presentation highlights recent investigations in painting, sculpture and mixed media, juxtaposing material textures and sculptural line. Through compact compositions and attention to process, the artists explore perception, the limits of representation and the tactile qualities of surfaces. The selection emphasizes subtle dialogues between form, colour and spatial tension.

2 September – 31 October

La bibliothèque se livre

Art & Exhibits

Centre culturel du Manoir

Franck Bohbot presents a selection of photographs of heritage libraries that open a space for meditation and reverie around the idea of the library.
Alongside these images, contemporary installations and mirrored arrangements that juxtapose photographs of personal libraries create reflective encounters, while a kaleidoscope of texts centers the theme. The exhibition examines how architecture, collection and personal memory shape our relation to knowledge, evoking nostalgia, curiosity and questions about the library as a social and imagined space.

Opening: 2 September, 18:30

3 September – 10 October

Post Tenebras Lux 2026

Art & Exhibits

Halle Nord

Ianne Kenfack Kitio continues her inquiry into representations of Black femininity and the construction of identity. In this photographic work, produced as a cyanotype, she treats the image as a space of transformation rather than a fixed depiction. The piece links material and concept: its blue evokes Ndop indigo textiles of the Grassfields and the artist’s Bamiléké heritage, while the cyanotype’s gradual emergence mirrors identity as an ongoing process of thresholds and metamorphosis.

Opening: 3 September, 18:00
