Don’t just like it, live it!
An immersive circuit inviting participants to rediscover the world through the lens of neurodiversity. The presentation combines a photographic exhibition and informative panels with virtual‑reality workshops and tactile, hands‑on activities, culminating in collective reflection and sharing. The project was developed within a DEI action framework in collaboration with university and community partners, and favors experiential, sensory-driven formats to foster empathy and broaden understanding of diverse cognitive experiences.
Students from the Centre de formation professionnelle en Arts (CFP Arts) present collective projects imagining Geneva in the second half of the twenty‑first century. Through garments, jewellery, ceramics, videos, comics, choreography, urban furniture, installations and digital or graphic works, they stage speculative scenarios—from utopian reinventions to dystopian provocations. Employing craft, performance, film and design strategies, the works probe technological, environmental and social futures, asking how everyday life, material culture and public space might be transformed.
Opening: Wednesday 9 September, 18:00.
Join neighbours and community members for a week of activities focused on reducing waste and protecting our environment. The programme offers information stands, hands-on workshops, reuse and repair initiatives, food-waste awareness and community clean-ups such as urban plogging. Activities are suitable for all ages and invite everyone to learn practical tips, share resources and act together for a cleaner, more sustainable neighbourhood. Participation encourages local solidarity and everyday changes that benefit people and nature.
Coordinated by Stan Breynaert, this double bill presents the personal musical projects of two emerging artists, Benjamin and Yliann. Their distinct worlds meet in an evening of original compositions and exploratory performances, guided by attentive external experts who offer critical feedback. The programme highlights creative risk, youthful experimentation and varied sonic textures, moving between intimate moments and more charged passages. The staging prioritizes close listening and a direct, candid exchange between performers and audience.
Through textiles, photography, performance, and writing, Vanessa Riera explores the visible and invisible burdens that permeate women’s experiences: norms, legacies, and inherited traumas, but also care, healing, and resistance. The title evokes those micromovements that allow the body to endure, adapt, and transform—gestures sometimes imperceptible, yet profoundly meaningful.
Opening during Geneva Art Week on September 16, 18:00
Piano Festival Geneva 2026 brings together acclaimed pianists and emerging talents for a celebration of the piano’s rich repertoire, from classical masterpieces to contemporary works. Held at Geneva’s iconic venues, the festival features solo recitals, concertos, and special performances in an intimate and inspiring musical
This session examines Vibe Coding’s use of artificial intelligence in creative workflows, exploring how generative tools reshape artistic production and design processes. It investigates the balance between machine autonomy and human judgment, addressing ethical questions, collaborative practices, and practical strategies for maintaining agency. Participants learn how AI can enhance ideation while requiring deliberate oversight, and the discussion reveals implications for creative professionals, policymakers, and institutions navigating co-creation with intelligent systems.

Rooted in a village tradition for decades, this grape harvest festival celebrates wine, local gastronomy and live music in an open-air, convivial setting. Stalls and producers foreground artisanal flavours while concerts and street entertainment create a lively, communal rhythm. The long-standing community organisation behind the event shapes its warm, participatory atmosphere, where sensory pleasures—aromatic wines, rustic dishes, and the hum of conversation—combine with folk and contemporary sounds to invite relaxed celebration.
An interactive community festival marking five years of collaborative making and creative exchange. The program presents hands-on workshops (jewellery and wooden toy making, patchwork sewing), practical skateboarding sessions and contests, graffiti and collaborative mural painting, screenprinting, and live music. Participants explore craft techniques, collective artistic processes, and practical skills while artists and makers demonstrate methods and facilitate experiment-driven learning. The event examines how shared creative practices foster community networks and sustain local production.
Capucine Pageron presents a series of miniature ceramic interiors in which a female figure performs everyday gestures. Bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms freeze familiar actions in intimately scaled scenes that blend matte and glossy textures. Vivid glazes articulate a compact, anachronistic visual language, where domestic habit becomes sculptural tableau. The works foreground material tactility and the quiet choreography of ordinary acts, inviting close attention to form, color and the poetics of domestic space.
Opening: 19 septembre 11:00 – 17:00, in the presence of the artist
Closing: 27 septembre 11:00 – 17:00, in the presence of the artist

Written by Stéphane Bouquet, Six heures plus tard is an intimate stage performance for two performers that explores the fragile bonds between a man and a woman through poetic text, live-filmed images, spare lighting and pared-down stage presence. The piece treats silence as a shared, collective resource and recomposes itself according to each venue’s architecture and the state of the bodies, creating an unusual proximity and contemplative atmosphere.

Photographer Jörg Brockmann and ceramist Youlichka Fioramonti present a joint exhibition that transposes the human body onto porcelain through cyanotype processes. Brockmann’s images are photographed and printed onto film, then transferred onto light-sensitive porcelain plates before firing. Fioramonti’s ceramic practice engages this material translation, emphasizing the interplay of light, chemistry and fire. The works probe material transformation, the role of chance within analogue techniques and a dialogue between photographic form and crafted surface.
