As part of its Year of Mental Health (2022–2023), the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum is reflecting on the passage of time with an exhibition that touches on a central theme of humanitarian action: resilience. The exhibition asks how can we access the memories of people who have lived through trauma, and how can we come to terms with a story that we didn’t choose for ourselves.

Running from 25 May to 17 September 2023, Kosovar artist Petrit Halilaj’s unique and immersive installation tells the tender, poignant and heartfelt story of his personal experience through the medium of drawing. It explores the artist’s childhood memories of the Kosovo War, as well as his hopes and dreams for the future.

A fragile balance

How do we keep our bearings in a world that’s changing at a dizzying speed? Where will we find new points of reference? What, ultimately, does our balance depend on? As part of its Year of Mental Health (2022–2023), the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum has given carte blanche to three contemporary Swiss artists: Denise Bertschi, Nicolas Cilins and Nina Haab. Their unique productions, together with a sculpture by Olafur Eliasson, explore our physical and mental limits and make us mindful of our inner balance. A Fragile Balance is an invitation to become fully present in the moment through a process of discovering, feeling, doing and letting go.

Our guides will be happy to welcome you and introduce you to our permanent exhibition: the visit lasts 1 hour and covers the museum’s three separate display areas (maximum 30 people per guide).

A period of 10 working days is required to assign a guide. It may happen that no guide is available at the requested time. In this case, we will inform you within the same period.
