The exhibition “Sauvages” at the Cité Library invites visitors to delve into the behind-the-scenes of Claude Barras’s film. It is divided into three sections that cover the ecological and cultural aspects of Borneo, reveal the creative and production processes of the film, and immerse the audience in the filming atmosphere through never-before-seen photos and testimonials. Original documents, drawings, travel journals, sets, and figurines enhance this immersive experience.
The International Museum of the Red Cross and Red Crescent presents the first European solo exhibition of Guatemalan Maya Kaqchikel artist Angélica Serech (*1982). Pach’un Q’ijul (Temps entrelacés – Deep Time) intertwines ancestral weaving gestures with personal and collective memory, drawing on Serech’s history shaped by Guatemala’s civil war. Using self-built looms and natural materials like corn husks and branches, her works explore resilience, repair, and the deep ties between textile traditions and humanitarian action.
The solo exhibition Ecce Femina by Philippe Reymondin is on view this fall at the andata.ritorno gallery. The artist characterizes his work as an inspired journey, with no specific justification guiding his artistic choices.
Opening: Thursday November 13, 18:00 – 21:00
The MEG, Musée d’ethnographie de Genève, showcases the immersive exhibition Afrosonica – Paysages sonores, which delves into the significance of music and sound in African societies and their diasporas.

The lo.me collective presents “Max Pounder,” a performance exploring the enduring nature of play through the physical body and stage design. In this space where rules are continuously renegotiated, the ground transforms into both a playground and a projection canvas. The performance pits the body against various elements, seeking its place, stumbling, and devising new strategies. Drawing inspiration from sports and genre cinema, this creation is part of the exhibition “Side Quest for the Real,” which also features performances, films, conversations, and tours to further explore the concept of play.
