A photographic installation in Parc des Bastions celebrates the dramatic relocation of animals from the Natural History Museum in Bastions to Malagnou in 1965. Organized by the Museum and the Geneva Library, this exhibition provides a deep dive into the Museum’s former home, showcasing images of the transfer of various specimens.
The exhibition “More Poetry is Needed” unites four artists who use text as both poetic and visual material: Laure Marville, Hadrien Dussoix, Robert Montgomery, and Peter Wüthrich. It conveys an urgent call for poetry. Laure Marville’s vibrant works bring the voices of Corinna Bille and Alice Rivaz to life as flags, while Hadrien Dussoix channels the spirit of rock. Robert Montgomery captures the committed poetry of the post-modern era and Peter Wüthrich illustrates how literature can serve as an antidote. In Geneva, Wüthrich engages with passersby by photographing them with an open book on their back, continuing his series “Angels of the World.”

The exhibition “I Am an Old Phenomenon” by Ann Shelton at the Maison de l’enfance et de l’adolescence delves into the traditional beliefs and knowledge surrounding the medicinal, magical, and spiritual uses of plants. Collaborating with the Fondation Convergences, the artist pays tribute to wise women, herbalists, and witches by revisiting knowledge marginalized by Christianity and capitalism. Through photographs of still lifes inspired by Ikebana, Shelton encourages us to rethink our connection to nature and reconnect with ancient wisdom in the face of environmental urgency.

This exhibition pays tribute to their friendship and distinctive creativity, while also bringing to life memories of their era. Alongside the exhibition, events such as a classical concert and a guided tour are planned to enhance the visitor experience. It’s a unique opportunity to rediscover these artists and their vibrant, timeless legacy.
