Silver Power – Women proud of their gray hair

Ghislaine Heger presents a photographic series of portraits that foreground 101 women from French-speaking Switzerland and their experiences of ageing and gray hair. Combining portrait photography with each subject’s own testimony, the work examines social expectations, gendered scrutiny and the intimate moments that surround a visible change.
The exhibition evokes questions of identity, dignity and resilience, offering nuanced, gentle accounts that reveal how personal histories intersect with broader cultural attitudes toward ageing.

Artisans from the Label Genève association present a group exhibition of urban works that bridges contemporary creation, craftsmanship, and technological innovation. The show brings together individual and collective pieces—furniture, objects and site-responsive interventions—that combine traditional techniques, material research and digital processes. Grounded in New Bauhaus principles of sustainability, circularity and interdisciplinarity, the works reveal demanding creative approaches, highlighting artisanal labour, experimental materials and dialogues between handmaking and technological evolution.

5 March – 10 April

Swiss artist Jean-Philippe Kalonji presents a sensitive series of portrait drawings that probe identity, memory and human presence. Working mainly with graphite and water-based media, he renders subtle gestures and gazes that bridge inner life and outward expression. The works range from intimate, near-figurative studies to more spare, contemplative surfaces, employing contemporary drawing techniques to question how portraiture reveals emotion and history. The exhibition invites deliberate, close looking at the human figure.

9 October 2025 – 30 August 2026

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.

6 – 15 March

Belleville-based photographer Souleymane Fofana, known as Commeas and also a player with JA Drancy, presents a body of photographic works that approach football through instinct and immediacy. Using motion, blur and saturated colour, he captures energy rather than fixed form, privileging rhythm, perception and spontaneous gesture over technical precision.

The images emerge from intuitive, in-the-moment shooting, a visual language of movement that evokes play, chaos and collective intensity. The presentation runs alongside the film Belleville nous verra toujours danser.

28 January – 15 March

Swiss artist Grégory Sugnaux presents a body of paintings that stage ambiguous, often hybrid figures—part human, part animal, serial androids and distorted, sometimes monstrous bodies. Combining grotesque allusion with ironic self-reflection, he mixes genres and pictorial techniques to render surfaces alternately smooth and vibrating, fracturing legibility.
A composed soundtrack threads through the installation, amplifying the exhibition’s uneasy pulsation. The works negotiate a fragile balance between fascination and self-critique, revealing vulnerability beneath playful, unsettling imagery.

12 March – 14 May

Gianni Motti is a Swiss conceptual artist known for blurring the boundaries between art, politics and everyday life. Often working through interventions, performances and symbolic gestures, he inserts himself into real-world situations—from institutions to public events—to question power, authorship and the role of the artist. His provocative and often humorous works invite audiences to reconsider what art can be and where it can happen.

Opening during the Nuit des Bains, Thursday 12 March, 18:00
