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.

Some Unresolved Remaining Feelings – S.U.R.F

Art & Exhibits

Arcadia

Martin Hyde presents an exhibition examining the relationships between painting, object, ceramics, design and poetry. His practice blurs boundaries between disciplines, producing works that sit between painted surfaces, ceramic forms and functional design, often scaled to engage the surrounding architecture. The show presents sculptural paintings and crafted objects that consider materiality, repetition and the poetics of domestic forms and scale.

Pre-opening & Talk “Art & Design at a Crossroads”: Tuesday 15 September, 12:00 and Thursday 17 September, 12:00 (register by email at info@galeriejoyderouvre.ch)

Station 505

Art & Exhibits

Parc des Bastions

Swiss artist Andreas Kressig presents Station 505, a temporary sculpture-pavilion conceived as an architectural and sensory intervention. Built in relation to an existing fountain, the work paradoxically conceals and reveals water while offering both an exterior sculpture to contemplate and an interior space to inhabit. Through material presence and spatial thresholds it interrogates public versus private realms. The project is activated by shared moments with the artist centred on a communal tea service and reflections on its diverse cultural interpretations.

Their Crops, Our Roots – Portraits of Women in Geneva’s Countryside

Art & Exhibits

Promenade de l'Observatoire

Photographer Bertrand Carlier presents a series of large-format portraits that foreground women working across Geneva’s agricultural landscape. The photographs depict market gardeners, winegrowers, fruit growers, livestock farmers and cellar managers in their working environments, using natural light and documentary framing.
The project explores gender, labour and continuity, revealing how women’s labour shapes rural economies and biocultural traditions. Set against the UN’s International Year of the Woman Farmer 2026, the work invites renewed attention to the diversity of skills and trajectories within contemporary Geneva agriculture.

Art & Exhibits

Musée de Compesières

Solo Séverin Guelpa – Rift

Art & Exhibits

HiFlow

Swiss artist Séverin Guelpa presents Rift, a vast immersive installation that shapes a sonic and telluric twilight. The work stages the fault as a porous space of listening, passage and transformation, where subterranean sounds converse with human voices and instrumental resonances. The presentation includes a live sound performance and collaborative vocal interventions with Varoujan Chetirian (sound composition), Antoine Läng (vocals and instrument) and Yvonne Harder (vocals), articulating material, temporal and acoustic relations.

Opening: Friday 18 September, 18:00

Permanente exhibition

The Rousseau Journey

Art & Exhibits

Maison Rousseau

Rousseau was born right here in 1712. Today, his birthplace pairs a permanent journey through his ideas with a lively programme devoted to contemporary literature. Philosophy, freedom, education, nature: centuries later, the questions raised inside these walls still feel remarkably current.
