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.

4 June – 25 October

Sylvia Sleigh’s retrospective pairs the artist’s figurative painting with ‘Refaire collection’, a polygraphic project offering a feminist rereading of art-history canons. Sleigh, a Welsh painter active in New York, is known for reversing gendered norms—placing the male nude where the female traditionally appears—and for portraits of the 1960s–70s New York art community. ‘Refaire collection’ gathers Swiss holdings and works by artists such as Louise Bourgeois, Meret Oppenheim, Pipilotti Rist, Joan Semmel and the Guerrilla Girls across painting, sculpture, video, drawing and photography.

Opening: 4 June 18:00

6 June – 29 March

Julian Charrière presents a major project that traces geological, climatic and planetary time through sculpture, installation, film and photography. Using stone, ice, coal, lava, metals and fossil matter as both material and subject, the works examine entangled histories of nature, extraction, industry and myth. Charrière compresses deep timescales into sculptural processes — coring glacial boulders repaired with precious metals, mechanically transforming ancient rocks, and reframing extractive landscapes as sites of destruction and wonder.

30 May – 27 September

This exhibition explores the careers of Édouard Naville, Switzerland’s pioneering Egyptologist, and his wife Marguerite Naville, whose contributions alongside him are now recognised in their own right. Through archival documents, excavation records and pharaonic objects, the presentation illuminates their archaeological practice and Marguerite’s role, while situating their work within the political, religious and humanitarian commitments that shaped scholarly life at the turn of the twentieth century.

In French and in English.

Sunday 2 August, 14:00

Serval (graffiti artist) and Kalonji (illustrator) present a collaborative practice that foregrounds exchange and creation in dialogue with existing artworks. Through drawing, layered surfaces and direct mark-making, they blur boundaries between street art and illustration, producing works that oscillate between improvisation and composition. The exhibition probes authorship, apprenticeship and public conversation, revealing how ephemeral gestures and graphic forms can reframe familiar images and provoke new modes of looking.

In French.

4 June – 9 August

Painter Éric Alibert presents a sensitive, meditative body of work inspired by the banks of the Arve. Using Chinese ink and watercolor on Japanese papers, his small-format writings of the living observe the discreet presences of urban wildlife. Through careful observation Alibert explores passages between interior and exterior, appearance and disappearance, proposing a contemplative, ecological gaze that brings wildness into the city and invites reflection on fragility and coexistence.
