EVEN THE STONES DIDN'T WANT IT TO STOP
A group exhibition to celebrate 20 years of Hécatombe
Espace Industrie, 12 rue de l'Industrie, 1201 Geneva
21.11 to 12.12.2024
Opening on 21.11 from 6pm
Open every Thursday, from 7pm
As part of the Hécatombe Collectives project, supported by ProHelvetia, the City of Geneva and Loterie Romande.
The Hécatombe collective invites you to its 20th anniversary party at espace industrie 12!
For the occasion, we've invited a bunch of friends to celebrate together. We've put together a series of multi-hand screen-printed posters, a display of originals and a reading corner where you can reread the fanzine we published in 2010, which you lost during your thirtieth move. There will also be workshops, music, tarot readings with our revisited deck and a creators' market. So come along, because the more the merrier.

Minizine workshop with Ben.comix
Let's create small individual or collective zines together. Thanks to a clever folding system, there's no need for binding. Texts, drawings, figurative or abstract, the zine offers total freedom of expression and can be shared without moderation. Materials on site.

Active in the micro-self-publishing world, he publishes a number of fanzines. His favorite tool is the brush. He prefers black and white.

"We live on a big rock that doesn't go round" workshop with Lucas Ferrero
Death to the platists! Long live the difformists!
Inspired by images of minerals in their raw state, you'll have to imagine the planet we live on as misshapen and irregular. The aim of the workshop is to learn how to compose a poster with an irregular shape and tell a story.
Lucas Ferrero is an author, visual artist, graphic designer and difformist. He draws fanzines on his own in the mountains or as part of a collective.
