AIFA Contemporary Art

16 January 2026
AIFA Gallery, in collaboration with Ms Mooser, a specialist in traditional Kintsugi, invites you to explore one of the fascinating aspects of Japanese culture. More than just a technique for repairing ceramics, Kintsugi embodies a philosophy: Wabi-Sabi, a celebration of imperfection, transience and the beauty of the traces of time. A true immersion in contemporary Japanese culture. Guided by Ms Mooser's expertise, each participant will have the opportunity to enhance a piece of ceramics, transforming fragility into brilliance. It is also an opportunity to experience a moment of slowness and contemplation while discovering the depth of Japanese art through the various works on display in the gallery. Since 2018, AIFA's mission has been to promote Japanese art beyond its borders, particularly in Switzerland. The art of Kintsugi is a unique example of this: it is not just a technique, but a philosophical approach that invites serenity and reflection. Surrounded by contemporary creations, you will be at the heart of a dialogue between tradition and modernity, where each piece reflects today's Japanese sensibility and aesthetics.
