Soleil·s - Solar Biennale 2
Overview
Intro
From the spring equinox to the autumn equinox of 2025, mudac is hosting the second Solar Biennale with the “Soleil·s” exhibition in the Plateforme 10 district and at EPFL.
Launched in 2022 in the Netherlands by designers Pauline van Dongen and Marjan van Aubel, the Solar Biennale provides a platform for reflection on the challenges of solar energy. For this second edition, mudac will broaden the theme by bringing together designers, curators, activists, and researchers to explore expanded perspectives on how to approach ecological transition. Far from limiting itself to a single, socially constructed vision, “Soleil·s” will address the symbolic, political, practical, and aesthetic dimensions of our relations to that star.With this in mind, four main themes are considered: - Energy revitalisation - Material culture - Symbolic power - Circadian rhythms Recognising the multifaceted nature of the sun, mudac is collaborating with institutions such as HEAD, ECAL, and several EPFL entities to foster the necessary interdisciplinary approach. New commissions have been entrusted to design studios. A partnership with the publishing house La Volte will result in the publication of a collection of short stories. Solar Punk, celebrating the power of fiction to imagine bright futures.
