In the Shadow of Discovery

Art & Exhibits

Musée d'histoire des sciences

Our eyes are naturally drawn to light and what shines. Yet what could be more fascinating than shadow? Shadows have enabled many fundamental discoveries: the shape of the Earth, the calculation of its circumference, the identification of electrons, and the understanding of planetary motion. They accompany us and enrich our thinking. Come and explore them to learn more about their role in science.

Exhibition in French & 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

Exhibition Tour and Moving Debate

Art & Exhibits

Espace Léman

Hydromondes leads a guided tour and participatory “moving debate” that activates the exhibition Lake Geneva: A Living Being. Combining close-looking with embodied facilitation, the session uses dialogue and physical positioning to surface contested perspectives on the lake. Participants navigate seven thematic faces of Lake Geneva, responding to provocative statements and exchanging arguments. The format foregrounds collective inquiry, critical listening and changing viewpoints, revealing how environmental, cultural and political narratives shape perceptions of the lake.

In French.

Ensemble de Strates

Art & Exhibits

CAIRN / Villa du Jardin

Artist Sara McLaren offers a sensitive, affective exploration of our relationship to land, place and the trajectories that traverse us. Rooted in a simple question—what binds us to a place?—the project gathers intimate local narratives through encounters and workshops. Stories are translated into earth: participants build layered rammed-earth sculptures, each stratum shaping a testimony. Between personal testimony and collective memory, the installation stages an archaeology of the present, where bodies, words and imaginaries coexist.

Opening: 20 June, 17:00

Minor Tides

Art & Exhibits

Espace Ami Lullin

Minor Tides brings together three young photographers — Lina Geoushy, Sarah Jade Sullivan and Farren van Wyk — who centre portraiture in work that interrogates family histories and cultural heritage.

Through staged and documentary photographic portraits, the artists examine collective identity, colonial legacies and processes of reclamation: Geoushy revisits pioneering women in Egypt’s past; Sullivan documents youth in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines navigating economic and colonial afterlives; van Wyk stages family portraits that rework violent colonial iconographies and affirm mixed identities. The exhibition traces subtle currents of change beneath visible histories.

Opening: Wednesday 1 July, 18:00

PlasMAH: Flesh and the Siphon

Art & Exhibits

MAH

Artists Daniel Dewar and Grégory Gicquel present a large-scale installation conceived as a traversable architecture that reconfigures the museum courtyard into a mutable living environment. Seven works dialog with sculpture, and two pieces were created specifically to engage the lapidary collection and the Pierre-aux-Dames megalith. Using carved stone surfaces, constructed siphons and modular plaster and resin elements, the project explores material metamorphosis, bodily presence and the shifting relations between monumentality and domestic scale.

Opening: Thursday 16 July, 18:30
