astronomical orchard (malm)
The MALM collective will take over the orchard of the Vevey Astronomical Observatory for their residency, culminating in a public and collective sharing on 3 and 4 October 2026.
MALM brings together Margaux Bula, geographer and visual artist; Amaranta Fontcuberta, biologist and science-society mediator; Laura Gönczy, filmmaker; and Mathilda Olmi, photographer. Their diverse practices and perspectives come together to create artistic, documentary and sensitive forms.
Thy develop an artistic, social and environmental practice that explores the relationships between living beings, territories and ecosystems. Attentive to the specificities of the places they inhabit, they create projects that invite us to observe, explore and celebrate the richness of the living world.
