Explore the story of Kalita through objects, sounds, and a tale. Wander into the story as Hatiam meets Kalita in the forest, marries her, and keeps her with the help of a village diviner. Listen to a divination chant, feel the rhythm of voices, and imagine the shimmer of ritual objects. Children will observe curious artifacts, ask questions, and weave their own stories while discovering how sounds and symbols tell a family’s history.
In French. Kids ages 5 and up.
Physis presents a two-person dialogue between sculptor Ernst Gamperl and the drawing practice of Shunshun. Gamperl’s internationally recognised sculptures, rooted in exceptional woodwork, explore growth, material presence and a generative life force. Shunshun’s delicate, layered line drawings shift from architectural training to intimate studies of spatial depth and quiet emotional resonance. Together the works consider intergenerational perspectives on form, technique and the elemental meanings of nature.
Opening: Wednesday 20 May, 17:00

Painter Elise van den Brand examines figurative painting and the dynamics of the gaze in a new body of work. Through cropped portraits and fragmentary compositions she interrogates the tension between how subjects intend to be seen and how viewers project narratives onto images. The exhibition draws on Sartre’s notion of le regard, explores social armour as protective presentation, and probes the instability that emerges when contextual markers are removed, exposing ambiguous subjectivities.
Tomorrow Comes Today presents a carefully curated exhibition of contemporary visual work that interrogates temporality and the persistence of memory. Through painting, installation, photography and mixed-media practice, the show examines how everyday objects and fleeting moments accumulate meaning. The works employ layered surfaces, found materials and projected imagery to collapse past and future, inviting sustained attention to material process and embodied perception.
The International Museum of the Red Cross and Red Crescent presents the first European solo exhibition of Guatemalan Maya Kaqchikel artist Angélica Serech (*1982). Pach’un Q’ijul (Temps entrelacés – Deep Time) intertwines ancestral weaving gestures with personal and collective memory, drawing on Serech’s history shaped by Guatemala’s civil war. Using self-built looms and natural materials like corn husks and branches, her works explore resilience, repair, and the deep ties between textile traditions and humanitarian action.
German artist Jan Albers (born 1971) develops a practice between painting, sculpture and architecture. His works often take the form of reliefs built through accumulation: assembled, layered and compressed surfaces of wood, metal, polystyrene, ceramic and polymer plaster that evoke fragments of architecture, models or landscapes. These reliefs oscillate between saturation and erasure, balance and collapse, revealing their complexity only through a slow, attentive gaze.
