Nan Goldin’s work bears witness to life in all its complexity. This walk asks us to turn inwards - to walk in our own heads and take time to dream as we move through the exhibition. A private morning introduced by Rachel Thomas, Chief Curator.

Switzerland
AWITA on the Ground
1st October | Zürich
This new AWITA event series explores Switzerland’s current art scenes, city by city. Through informal walks and encounters, we connect with the artists, galleries, independent spaces, and cultural producers shaping the local landscape today.
The series launches in Zurich with BINZ39, led by curator and director Julia Künzi.
Salon Series: Infrastructures of Voice
14th November | Geneva
What does it take, today, for women’s voices to be heard, both within and beyond the existing art world? And is the question ultimately one of being heard, or of building stronger forms of connectivity and collegiality?
Taking the Swiss Institute for Art Research (SIK-ISEA) publication series On Words as both a point of departure and working model, this Salon brings together artist Latifa Echakhch and guest speakers to open a conversation around the past and present infrastructures that hold and circulate women’s work.
What does it mean to truly think and act en réseau? How can stronger connections counter the professional and intellectual isolation so often built into existing structures?
Together, we will explore how to build networks that don't just replicate the competitive hierarchies of the traditional cultural sector. More than just a discussion, this Salon is designed as an active space for practical exchange and collective thinking.
