Located in the Nations neighborhood directly across from the United Nations, the Red Cross Museum serves as a thought-provoking center for exploring the profound impact of humanitarian action on our lives, both locally and globally. Each year, the museum selects a central theme and curates engaging exhibitions, guided tours, talks and workshops.
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.
Projects by five finalists from HEAD–Genève are presented alongside the work of Mohamad Khamis in an exhibition of installations that probe sharing and engagement. The pieces employ spatial and conceptual strategies to explore collective practices, interpersonal exchange and forms of commitment. The show foregrounds emerging artistic voices, using installation as a platform for material inquiry and civic reflection, and invites careful attention to the ways artworks stage social relations and ethical questions.
The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum presents the Prix Art Humanité, featuring works by five HEAD – Genève alumni exploring themes of sharing, engagement, and humanity. The exhibition also includes the first International Prize, by Lebanese artist Mohamad Khamis. Visitors can vote for their favourite project, with the Public Prize awarded during the ceremony.
