VERNISSAGE ET CONFERENCES AUX VERGERS // Art and the land to break down the urban-rural divide with . August 7, 2021

For a festive launch of the third chapter of (re)connecting.earth in Geneva, the exhibition is deploying a thematic day in the young Vergers district with a guided tour, participatory conferences by local actors and screening of "Demain Genève".

We invite you to come and share this moment of generous exchanges with us and to discover the vision of the sixteen guest artists! Copies of the works in the exhibition, in A3 format, are offered free of charge to visitors to the Auberge des Vergers. Our wish is not only to promote a free approach to culture, but also to spread progressive ideas for a reconnection with the Living.

So, over a drink with friends or during a stroll through the neighborhood, discover the new works of: Caroline Bachmann, Julian Charrière, Eli Cortiñas, Andreas Greiner & Takafumi Tsukamoto, Valérie Favre, David Horvitz, Bianca Kennedy & The Swan Collective, Fabian Knecht, Antje Majewski, Luzie Meyer, Regina de Miguel, Adrien Missika, Pfelder, Simone Zaugg, Zheng Bo.
