A thought-provoking exhibition exploring how systemic inequalities and oppression have contributed to today’s ecological crises. Curated by Jean-Rodolphe Petter, winner of the 2024 curatorial grant, the show highlights works from the 20th and 21st centuries and examines climate change through the lens of power, production, and discrimination.
In collaboration with the Photo Elysée Museum, the “Dialogues On Humanity” exhibition explores how photography can deepen our understanding of humanitarian principles. Through five themed sections, the images encourage reflection on global crises and the significance of humanitarian efforts. Each set of photographs is paired with questions to stimulate dialogue and invite visitors to share their reactions. This project is a joint effort by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, the Photo Elysée Museum, and the International Committee of the Red Cross.
