Confluences | Fondation François Schneider, France

The Confluences exhibition brings together the collections of the Fondation François Schneider, FRAC Alsace, FRAC Champagne-Ardenne and 49 Nord 6 Est – FRAC Lorraine. Inspired by the concept of “confluences”, it explores the interactions between different works, like rivers that meet. Through different themes, the works engage in a dialogue of forms, compositions, narratives and colors. Visitors are invited to imagine themselves in moments of life inspired by water, whether admiring a sparkling sea, exploring urban beaches or observing the harmony between body and water.

Group exhibition curated by Sarah Guilain, with works by Claude Batho, Mégane Brauer, Pat Bruder, Cécile Carriere, Julie Chaffrot, Gigi Cifali, and many others.

Oscillating Spaces | CCA, Montréal

Oscillating Spaces looks to the Rhône Glacier—undergoing fast melting and transformation processes—as a case study to reflect on environmental challenges in a constantly oscillating site. Juxtaposing glacier cartography, photography, film, ecclesiastical documents, tourist souvenirs, and architectural archives, the exhibition questions the role of architecture when confronted with a shifting climate, an unstable landscape, and a site that possesses a life of its own. The research also incorporates the work of contemporary art and architecture practices whose works document the Alpine landscape, responding to and raising awareness about the complex consequences of glacier recession for plant, animal, and human life.

Group exhibition curated by Anneke Abhelakh, with works by Aufdi Aufdermauer, Anneke Abhelakh, Filip Dujardin, Harvest Salon, Leo Fabrizio, and many others.

Memória Colateral | Galeria Avenida da Índia, Lisboa

Uriel Orlow’s exhibition ‘Memória Colateral / Collateral Memory’ proposes an investigation into the concept of restitution, a theme he has explored for more than two decades. Beyond the simple return of objects or artefacts, restitution needs to be taken as a collective responsibility to reintegrate marginalised memories into history. This concept gains expression in interventions that recover forgotten knowledge and propose new ways of narrating historical events. Emphasis is placed on listening to the resonances of suppressed narratives in the present and fostering an ethic of memory and reparation.

With the support of República Portuguesa – Cultura I DGARTES – Direção-Geral das Artes, Galerias Municipais I EGEAC and Pro Helvetia I Swiss Art Council

Naming Natures | Museum of Natural History, Neuchâtel (CH)

In 1838, Swiss naturalist Johann Jakob von Tschudi (1818—1889), commissioned by the Natural History Museum of Neuchâtel, sailed to Peru on a merchant ship filled with fabrics, champagne, and watches. During his journey, which lasted almost five years, he hunted and prepared over a thousand specimens, which he sent to Neuchâtel. This story is not unique: many European museums have collections acquired in a colonial context.

The Naming Natures project, supported by the Swiss National Science Foundation and the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, takes a critical look at natural history collections from colonial settings, combining scientific, historical, and museographic approaches. Is it still possible to exhibit these collections? And if so, how can they be presented differently without exoticizing or glorifying the figure of the “great men of science”? What responsibility do museums have towards the communities concerned?

With works by Chonon Bensho, Denise Bertsch, Fabiano Kueva, Ximena Garrido-Lecca, Raúl Silva, Santiago Yahuarcani and many others.
