Beginning with dialogue and experimentation — a process through which visibility, authorship, and belonging are continually reexamined — Geneva-based curators Danniel Tostes and Lari Medawar used their 2025 residency at FMAC Genève to explore how institutional collections can be activated through relational and inclusive curatorial practices.
Rooted in their distinct yet intersecting trajectories — Tostes emerging from the institutional art world of Rio de Janeiro, Medawar from Geneva’s independent and activist scenes — their collaboration unfolds across archives, studios, and exhibition spaces. Through VISIBLE and VISIONS, they bring together artists from within and beyond the FMAC collection to imagine new narratives and possible futures for contemporary art in Geneva.
Their curatorial process is grounded in intimacy and care: studio visits become conversations, and exhibitions become acts of visibility. Through this approach, they open the collection to new sensibilities — queer, emotional, decolonial — envisioning the exhibition as a space where knowledge circulates and everything remains possible.
Commissioned by FMAC Genève and directed by Bubblegum Club, this short documentary traces their shared vision of curating as a collective, transformative practice.
