Special Screening: Kar Korsanlari – Snow Pirates

Booking Required

Set during a bitter winter in 1980s Turkey amid a military coup, Kar Korsanlari (Snow Pirates) follows three boys who scavenge for coal to survive the cold. With intimate, observational imagery and restrained yet powerful storytelling, the film contrasts the harsh authority of soldiers with the fragile, playful solidarity of childhood. A quietly political and poetic debut, it exposes the mechanisms of repression while celebrating youthful resilience and small acts of compassion.

Screening, concert on Place du Marché (Dara Macit and Ismail Tumen) et exhibition at bar Vehbi Koca

Geneva cafés: life itself

Art & Exhibits

Bibliothèque de Genève

Dany Gignoux (photographer) and poet Georges Haldas present a compelling dialogue between documentary photography and lyrical prose. The exhibition brings together photographs and written fragments that register everyday life in Geneva’s cafés, combining on-the-spot reportage with memory-infused “prose inspirée.” Through intimate black-and-white images and spare, evocative texts the works transfigure mundane scenes into poetic testimony, revealing social undercurrents and human tenderness. Archival materials frame this historic encounter between two generations of cultural chroniclers.

Anti-Gravity

Art & Exhibits

Halle Nord

Song Ruijin presents her first institutional solo exhibition, assembling a new series of paintings and ceramic sculptures within a site-specific installation. She constructs an unstable universe where the sky becomes ground and interior merges with exterior, populated by emoji-like figures that reflect individual alienation and the absurdities of digital capitalism. Through a syncretic visual language of accumulating imagery—sometimes comforting, sometimes unsettling—her sensory installations reveal logics of exploitation and control affecting human and non-human actors.

Opening: Thursday 28 May, 18:00

Through open diary fragments and an instinctive plastic language that draws from art brut, street art and neo‑expressionism, the exhibition brings together paintings, drawings and mixed‑media pieces. The works explore memory, play, and the uneasy passage to adulthood, using gestural mark‑making and raw materials to evoke intimacy and emotional intensity.
