The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum
Humanitarian action
- How does humanitarian action affect us all, here and now?
- In order to reflect on this question with our visitors, we invite artists and cultural partners to examine the issues, values and current situation of humanitarian action.
- We thus assert ourselves, in an open, agile and warm manner, as a place of memory, creation and debate.
- We help bring attention to the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and the city of Geneva by producing original artistic content and developing ambitious partnerships in Switzerland and throughout the world.
- A meeting point for local gastronomic tradition and global humanitarian commitment. Imagine decompressing after an intense day’s work with a drink and a chat with professionals from all over the world, in a harmonious and captivating setting with a rich cultural programme offering memorable moments with every visit.
- Located within the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum, HINIVUU embodies the spirit of the 7 fundamental principles of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement: Humanity, Independence, Neutrality, Impartiality, Voluntary service, Unity, Universality.

The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum is hosting the first European solo show of Angélica Serech (b. 1982), an artist of Maya Kaqchikel origin born in Guatemala. Entitled Pach’un Q’ijul (Temps entrelacés/Deep Time), it sets up a dialogue between the artist’s recent works and objects from the Museum’s collection.
In her experimental and intuitive practice, Serech uses self-built looms to intertwine ancestral techniques with her own history – including her experience of the Guatemalan Civil War. Her works represent both a tribute to her cultural heritage and an exploration of the restorative power of artistic creation. Weaving together individual and collective memory, the exhibition delves deep into the relationship between textiles and humanitarian action.
