Coolturalia - Opening: Salvatore Emblema - May 1972

Opening: Salvatore Emblema – May 1972

Art & Exhibits
SOMA

May 1972 is an exhibition dedicated to Salvatore Emblema (Naples, 1929–2006), bringing together works produced between the late 1960s and the early 1980s. Across paintings, sculptures and installations, Emblema refines a conceptual language that interrogates materiality, form and temporality. The presentation highlights his experimental use of found materials, assemblage and reductive gestures, situating these works within postwar Italian avant‑garde practices and the artist’s evolving exploration of spatial and epistemic limits.

Coolturalia - Letters from Wolf Street

Letters from Wolf Street

Independent Cinema
Les Cinémas du Grütli

Arjun Talwar turns his camera toward Wilcza Street in Warsaw, filming neighbours and the textures of everyday life to probe his sense of belonging. Working with a quietly observant, intimate cinema, he assembles encounters and portraits that complicate simple narratives about contemporary Poland. The film unfolds as a patient, tactile study of otherness, community and political atmosphere—close-ups of faces and streetscapes that reveal nuance beneath stereotypes. Sparse, compassionate and perceptive, it listens to ordinary lives to rethink what home can mean.

Coolturalia - FIFDH: When Unpaid Labour Goes on Strike

FIFDH: When Unpaid Labour Goes on Strike

Lectures & Workshops
Théâtre Pitoëff

A timely forum on unpaid labour and feminist strikes, preceded by a screening of The Day Iceland Stood Still. Drawing on the historic 1975 women’s strike in Iceland, speakers explore how domestic, emotional and care work—so central yet so invisible—can become a site of political struggle, and question how collective mobilisation can be reimagined beyond traditional labour frameworks.

The discussion is interpreted in English; the film is in Icelandic and English, with French and English subtitles.

Events running for an extended period

28 January – 15 March
Coolturalia - Almost Tender

Almost Tender

Art & Exhibits
Ferme de la Chapelle

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.

Coolturalia - André Kasper — Mettez-en une palette!

André Kasper — Mettez-en une palette!

Art & Exhibits
Villa Dutoit

Painter André Kasper revisits classical and contemporary traditions in a body of oil paintings, watercolours and works on paper shaped by extended stays in Rome. His canvases — landscapes, ruins and figurative scenes — favour composed structures and a luminous handling that anchors each work’s narrative. Accustomed to large formats, he has recently explored smaller, more impulsive studies that foreground colour purity and gesture. The exhibition reflects Kasper’s dialogue with Caravaggio, Corot and Flemish affinities while tracing personal and art-historical continuities.

Silver Power – Women proud of their gray hair

Art & Exhibits
Galerie du Boléro

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.

Coolturalia - Mirages & Miracles

Mirages & Miracles

Art & Exhibits
Théâtre du Forum Meyrin

Adrien Mondot and Claire Bardainne present an interactive exhibition that blends visual and performing arts, placing the body at the heart of image-making. Combining handcrafted objects with digital devices, the duo uses augmented reality and holography to propose a form of digital animism: apparently motionless stones and objects reveal hidden life through poetic scenarios. The series ‘Le Silence des pierres’ pays homage to the agency and intimacy of life lodged in inert matter.

Coolturalia - Mitchell Anderson: Rockets

Mitchell Anderson: Rockets

Art & Exhibits
Centre d'édition contemporaine

Mitchell Anderson presents a new edition and bodies of work examining the legacy of post‑war astronautics. Drawing on graphite relics from a V‑2 rocket, children’s drawings and mural motifs, the exhibition stages colour‑in pages alongside wall drawings and hybrid objects that hover between craft and ready‑made. Mixed‑media pieces employ encaustic, embroidery and hand‑written texts to interrogate the rocket as an icon that condenses both promise and violence, situating technological histories within intimate material registers.
