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.
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 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.
Prix Art Humanité presents the award for artistic projects that engage with humanitarian concerns.
The ceremony honours the main prize and the Public Prize, recognising one of five shortlisted projects from HEAD – Geneva. The program foregrounds multidisciplinary practices and proposals that interrogate social, ethical and human-centred themes.
Zahrasadat Hakim, winner of the 2025 prize, contributes reflections on her residency experience and its impact on her work. The event highlights how contemporary art can reveal, question and reframe humanitarian perspectives.
