“Tuning in – The Acoustics of Emotion” is an exhibition that delves into the connections between sound, voice, heritage, and humanitarian action. Utilizing sound archives and collections from the International Committee of the Red Cross, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, and the International Museum of the Red Cross and Red Crescent, the exhibition explores which voices we preserve, their significance, and the role of music in humanitarian efforts. It features soundtracks, historical recordings, posters, photographs, prisoners’ objects, and artworks both historical and contemporary.

This exhibition explores the Geneva art scene from the 1990s to the present, featuring works from the MAMCO collection alongside recent creations. Participating artists include Timothée Calame, Valentin Carron, Emilie Ding, Sylvie Fleury, among others.
