Come and cheer them on at Jardin Anglais in a festive end-of-year atmosphere.

ANTIGEL RUN #5 @ Parc des Eaux-Vives
Jan 18 all-day
ANTIGEL RUN #5 @ Parc des Eaux-Vives

Put on your trainers, gloves and woolly hats for The 5th Antigel Run – Geneva’s first race of the year, and just one week before the Festival officially opens!

The atmosphere is fun yet competitive, the route is beautiful and the view over the lake and the beach at Eaux-Vives is breath-taking. It’s a great opportunity to gather together, across all ages, whether you’re an amateur or a trained sportsperson, you can choose your route: 1, 2, 5 or 10 km. And as always with Antigel, this sports day ends with a party, the Light Run, a magical event lit up with thousands of lanterns, head lamps and fairy lights worn by the participants.

FRED BOISSONNAS AND THE MEDITERRANEAN – A PHOTOGRAPHIC ODYSSEY @ Musée Rath
Apr 26 @ 11:00 am – Jul 26 @ 6:00 pm
FRED BOISSONNAS AND THE MEDITERRANEAN - A PHOTOGRAPHIC ODYSSEY @ Musée Rath

The exhibition is dedicated to the works of the most prolific member of the “Boissonnas dynasty”, Fred Boissonnas (1858 – 1946). It sheds light on a whole aspect of his career that is both underappreciated and crucial: his journeys on the Mediterranean Sea, which he spent the first three decades of the 20th century roaming in search of light, of the Great Greece and free Egypt, of Homeric settings and Biblical landscapes.

Most of his photographs, presented here for the first time, are part of bequeathed collections now owned by the Bibliothèque de Genève. Both poetic and mesmerising, this exhibition also attempts to provide insight into the ambivalent and passionate relationship between Europe and the Mediterranean.
