Exactly 22 tons of pebbles have just arrived at the museum.
So… why do we need them? 🪨🪨🪨

For our upcoming exhibition Mohamed Bouroissa – Pour Noubia, the pebbles will be spread across the entire first floor as part of the spatial installation. The crunch under your feet creates a sensory link to places outside the museum – cemeteries, parks, walking paths – carrying the story of Noubia, the late aunt of artist Mohamed Bourouissa, outward in both sound and symbolism. We won’t reveal too much yet, but something special is taking shape.

Join us on 12 June at 6pm for the opening of our exhibition Pour Noubia.

P.s.: And yes… you can walk on the pebbles! 🙂‍↕️

With a mix of nostalgia and excitement, we say goodbye to Disobedience Archive (Canopy for Broken Times).

Our exhibition not only presented the largest selection of the Disobedience Archive to date but also openend a dialogue with Raqs Media Collective . Throughout the exhibition, questions of disobedience were given space, highlighting resistance, social struggles, and collective self-organisation.

So many of you came to visit, stayed, lingered, and immersed yourselves deeply in the films. Thank you for your time, your curiosity, and your presence.

From 13 June 2026, we are excited to open our new exhibition, “Mohamed Bourouissa – Pour Noubia.” In his work, Mohamed Bourouissa places people at the heart of his work. He is at once a portraitist, storyteller, and inventor, creating spaces that bring us closer to the lives of those who are often left out of dominant media, politics, and art history.

His work takes us on a journey from Blida in Algeria, where he was born, through the banlieues of Paris, where he lives today, to Osnabrück in Germany, where the life of his aunt Noubia Meyer came to an end.

But first, it’s time for the exhibition changeover. See you soon!

Join us for one final weekend of our exhibition Disobedience Archive. 💥

Spanning five chapters, the exhibition brings together 50 films that engage with disobedience in different ways — from fiction to documentary.

In “Inventur – Metzstrasse 11", for example, artist Želimir Žilnik turns his attention to the lives of guest workers in Germany, giving residents of a multicultural housing community the chance to tell their own stories.

In “Videograms of a Revolution”, Harun Farocki and Andrei Ujica take us into the midst of the Romanian Revolution, showing, among other things, how protesters seized the national television station in Bucharest and broadcast live for several days.

The exhibition remains open until 25 May.

You can visit the museum on Whit Monday as well..

Can memories take shape through the body?

Join us on 21 May at 8 pm at the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst for ODE, a performance by dancer and choreographer Catol Teixeira .teixeira.

Traditionally, an ode is a poem accompanied by music, dedicated to a person or an event. Here, however, ODE unfolds as a dance dedicated to gaps, ruptures, and transformation – a lament for what slips through our fingers, for what never arrives, for what was once almost here.

Catol Teixeira’s solo piece moves through grief and its many phases, tracing the contradictions it holds, the emotions it stirs, and the questions it leaves behind.

ODE becomes a rehearsal of farewell, and the body turns into an archive of past movements. Mourning runs through the choreography – sometimes exaggerated, sometimes deeply sincere. In repetitive yet ever-shifting movements, interrupted by unexpected moments, Teixeira’s body lingers in the tension between loss and grace – not to hold on, but to let go of what has already changed.

Where: Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst Zürich
When: 8pm

Curious? Join us and discover ODE

Save the date ✨06.02.2026, 6pm✨ Join us and artist Mohamed Bourouissa for the opening of his first solo exhibition in Switzerland “Pour Noubia”.

Bourouissas work invite you to explore stories of exclusion, invisibility, and resistance. People are at the heart of his work. Not those who already stand in the spotlight of media, politics, art, and history, but the people from “next door” – people whose biographies speak of exclusion, invisibility, and resistance. Bourouissa creates space in his work for the lives of these individuals.

Through Films, objects, AI animation, and photographs mark the stations, Bourouissa takes us on a journey from Blida in Algeria, where he was born, to the Parisian banlieue, where he lives today, and on to Osnabrück in Germany, where the eventful life of his aunt Noubia came to an end.

One of the most beautiful things about the Canopy Sessions is that so many different people come together to speak, listen, share experiences, and learn from one another.

Our last session centred Tamil-Swiss perspectives and explored how Tamil people in the diaspora have developed their own forms of archiving – beyond state and academic systems of documentation. We spoke about the role of third spaces as places of community-building, exchange, and empowerment outside the dominant society. And we reflected on how Tamil identity, culture, and political memory are passed on across generations – as a response to war, displacement, and epistemic oppression.

Moderator Swassthi Sivasanmukanatha Sarma (sociologist and writer), alongside Anina Mathivannan (expert in human rights and anti-discrimination), Janusha Kenganathan (artist and mediator), and Sarujan Theivendran (historian and archive specialist), shared personal experiences and insights from research, art, and practice, creating an open and multilayered conversation.

Thank you to everyone who helped shape this evening through their thoughts, their presence, and their listening.

Do you know what the earth beneath our feet really looks like? It’s made up of layers, and this soil forms – both literally and metaphorically – the foundation of our shared existence.

Join us and the ecofeminist collective Terravibe .ch on May 23, 2026, for our final Canopy Session – a series of conversations and practices exploring art, activism, and shared knowledge. (Don’t forget to book your slot in advance)

In this participatory workshop, we’ll focus on the soil beneath our feet and create one of Terravibe’s iconic Zoilhills using earth collected from construction sites around the museum. This artistic earth installation will reveal the hidden layers beneath us and draw attention to their significance for our lives and relationships.

This Canopy Session builds on the exhibition chapter Radical Ecologies, which aims to “re-enchant” the world by reclaiming cultural and ecological knowledge displaced by capitalism. Terravibe’s work with soil as a local and stable medium emphasizes collective creation and dialogue about the role of the environment in our lives and well-being. With the Zoilhill, we’ll craft an archive that will evolve over the coming months – just like the Disobedience Archive itself – paying tribute to its dynamic and ever-changing nature.

✨ Why join us?
Because together, we’ll explore the connections between soil and society through hands-on creation and meaningful exchange.

💡 Awareness:
This workshop is a space for active participation, respectful exchange, and mindful listening. Be prepared to get your hands dirty! Everyone shares the responsibility to ensure this space remains safe, attentive, and welcoming.
