GamMAH, located on the Promenade du Pin, is an extension of the Musée d’art et d’histoire (MAH). It offers an alternative space where the museum’s collections can be explored in new ways, combining exhibitions with opportunities for social interaction. The venue also hosts smaller, more intimate events that encourage informal discussions about art and history.
Historian Leïla el-Wakil, author of Charivari, draws on her involvement with the citizen movement Contre l’enlaidissement de Genève (SOS Patrimoine CEG) and extensive field contact with local residents.
She examines recent struggles to protect built and tree heritage, investigates the uneven dynamics between politicians, administrations and vox populi, and connects these conflicts to accelerated urban densification and the wider concern of climate change, offering insights into civic mobilization and policy implications for heritage protection.
