How often do you adapt without even saying it? Many people move through different spaces, roles, languages, and expectations every day.

As part of the exhibition Collection &: Sylvie Fleury, Shamiran Istifan: She-Devils on Wheels – Angels on Heels, this edition of Black Stammtisch is dedicated to the unspoken. We will explore unspoken codes, shapeshifting, and code-switching as experiences and strategies of Black people in Switzerland. Together, we will reflect on what becomes visible when meanings shift, expectations are questioned, and familiar codes are read in new ways.

Black Stammtisch is an open exchange format for the Black community. Black and BIPoC participants take a seat at the table and lead the conversation, while everyone is invited to listen. In doing so, we create a respectful space for exchange, collective learning, and diverse perspectives.

🛠 Can a work of art change and still remain the same?

Installations are among the most fascinating challenges in contemporary art conservation. Unlike paintings or sculptures, they can shift and adapt with every new exhibition: responding to a different space, a new curatorial context, or even changing technologies.

For this edition of Collection Insights, conservator Kamilla Ødegård takes us behind the scenes of museum practice and explores how artworks are preserved when change is part of the work itself.

Using two works by Sylvie Fleury from the Migros Museum collection, we'll discuss questions that conservators face every day: What must remain unchanged? What can be adapted? And who ultimately decides?

Can I touch this? Can I sit here? 👀

Museum rules aren’t always as straightforward as you might think. In our current exhibitions, some things can be touched and you can even hop on a swing.

Our trainee Pauline takes you through 10 seconds of do’s and don’ts.

Currently on view:
Nicole L’Huillier
Canción de Amor 🫀🎶

Sylvie Fleury & Shamiran Istifan
She-Devils on Wheels 🔥
Angels on Heels 🪽

Not sure? Look out for the small signs throughout the exhibitions or ask our Visitor Services Team anytime.

And yes: you can use the swings. Just swing gently. 🫶

Do you have a ZVV membercard but not yet a free designer bag by Christoph Hefti? 👀 Then now is the perfect time for a museum visit.

These colourful tote bags were designed by Swiss artist and textile designer . Christoph Hefti is one of Switzerland’s most renowned textile designers and has worked with Jean Paul Gaultier, Dries Van Noten, Lanvin, Balenciaga, and Acne Studios, among others. His work has received numerous awards, including the Swiss Grand Prix Design.

Featuring mask-like forms in vibrant colours, the bag brings a piece of contemporary design history into everyday life.

✨ And here's the best part: with a membercard, you can pick up a bag free of charge at our reception desk (while supplies last). One bag per Membercard. Without a Membercard, the tote bag costs CHF 18 and the gym bag CHF 25.

Our recommendation: combine your visit to the Migros Museum with the current Christoph Hefti exhibition at the Museum für Gestaltung .

What holds people together? And who gets to decide the meaning of symbols?

Our new exhibitions explore these questions in different ways. While Nicole L'Huillier's Canción de Amor investigates play as a form of community, care, and connection, She-Devils on Wheels // Angels on Heels, featuring works by Sylvie Fleury and Shamiran Istifan, examines how familiar images, roles, and assumptions can be reimagined.

Between sound installations, swings, an automobile club, a beauty salon, and shape-shifting protagonists, visitors encounter spaces that invite them to see the familiar from a different perspective.

✨ Haven't visited yet? Both exhibitions are on view until 17 January 2027.

One song. One performance. One night only.
As part of the opening of Canción de Amor, Nicole L’Huillier presents Ayayay (Cómo me duele), a love song composed especially for the installation.

Following the opening speech, we invite you to join a collective procession through the exhibition, ending with the first and only live performance of the piece. Afterwards, the song will become part of the installation, where it lingers as a subtle sonic presence, inviting visitors into moments of listening, proximity, and exchange.

The activation marks the moment on which the composition can be experienced live, before becoming an invitation to engage with the work through vibration, proximity and resonance.

📅 September 25, around 6:30 PM directly after the opening speech
📍 Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Ground Floor

We hope to welcome you and open the exhibition with you.
