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.
This hands-on workshop explores basic weaving and assembly techniques using recycled textiles. Participants learn thread preparation—cutting, sorting and winding—and are introduced to lirette weaving with strips of recycled T‑shirts, plus crochet techniques for assembling pieces and creating texture. The session examines practical methods for transforming waste into functional objects and offers an educational takeaway to support continued practice at home, while emphasising textile reuse, slow making and material potential.
