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.
Join us for the exhibition “Pach’un Q’ijul (Interwoven Times – Deep Time)” by Angélica Serech, an artist of Maya Kaqchikel heritage. Enjoy an exclusive tour with the curator and delve into her works, which connect ancient weaving traditions to her personal story influenced by the Guatemalan civil war. This exhibition highlights the connections between individual and collective memory and the interplay between textiles and humanitarian efforts.
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.
Discover how art delves into humanitarian action through the performances of Ishita Chakraborty and Nina Emge at the “Angélica Serech – Pach’un Q’ijul” exhibition at the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum. This event, titled “Mapping My Way to Borderless Echoes,” explores themes of memory, forgetting, resilience, and humanity. The two artists engage in a performative dialogue with Serech’s works and the audience, highlighting humanitarian values.
As part of the exhibition Angélica Serech – Pach’un Q’ijul, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum presents Mapping My Way to Borderless Echoes, the first in a three-part series exploring memory, resilience, and humanity. Artists Ishita Chakraborty and Nina Emge engage in a performative dialogue with each other, with Serech’s works, and with the audience, offering a powerful reflection on personal and collective memory and the humanitarian values at the heart of the exhibition.
