Muséum Genève Dialogues insolites BM

It's the story of a swift who asks everyone where sub-Saharan Africa is because he has to migrate there. Or it's the story of an immigrant to whom a crayfish of a species considered invasive starts talking: "You and I look alike. We've been brought here and nobody wants us anymore"... Or the story of a girl who shrinks after taking a sip of pond water and rediscovers the world in the company of a dragonfly.

These comic-book stories - there are 15 of them - take place from October 2024 to June 2025 on the walls of the
Multi, on the first floor of the Cité library. In the middle of the space, the animals evoked by these stories (and a few others) find themselves taxidermized, "stuffed" as we used to say, or reproduced on a large scale when they're too small to be seen with the naked eye.

First-year students from the École supérieure de bande dessinée et d'illustration (ESBDI) created the stories, while the Muséum d'histoire naturelle chose, lent and presented the specimens shown, all local (or regional, in the case of the Gelyelle) with the exception of the dodo from Mauritius. Closed for renovations, the Muséum has come to the Bibliothèques municipales to weave one of its Dialogues insolites, the series of exhibitions it is currently staging outside its walls.
