Vernissage GLACIER(S): Art, Science & Dialogues - Geneva
ASMALLWORLD and Ambassador Christina Svensson invite members and guests to a thought-provoking cultural evening, hosted at the Centre des Arts de l’École Internationale de Genève, featuring the exhibition GLACIER(S).
Through short films, a round-table discussion, and a curated vernissage, artists Bernard Garo and Jacques Pugin join glaciologist Luc Moreau to explore the urgent question of glacier preservation. Art becomes both witness and messenger, revealing the beauty, vulnerability, and reality of melting ice, with a special focus on the Rhône Glacier.
The evening concludes with a convivial cocktail and exhibition visit, offering a rare opportunity for meaningful exchange at the intersection of art, science, and sustainability.
Please note: the event will be conducted entirely in French.
