MOMENTA Biennale de l’image

Contemporary art biennale devoted to the image (formerly Le Mois de la photo), MOMENTA aims to generate a sensitive and sensible impact on the world around us by means of images. The event implements unifying and structuring initiatives for art dissemination and education, to encourage reflection on and access to contemporary art. 

Curated by Stefanie Hessler in collaboration with Camille Georgeson-Usher, Maude Johnson, and Himali Singh Soin, the biennale joins forces with key venues in the city’s art community to offer public exhibitions on the theme Sensing Nature.

This 17th edition of the biennale is rooted in two complementary notions: nature that senses and humans sensing nature. In this biennale, we are making room for “other” perspectives so that we may reach more sensitive forms of cohabitation. In collaboration with 14 venue partners, we present 51 artists from 24 countries in 15 exhibitions, including a collective garden, an outdoor augmented reality tour, and an online performance program.
