These are all questions that this participative exhibition attempts to answer.
Numerous partners have agreed to develop with the Ethnography Museum MEG an intention in line with the topicality of decolonial thought.
A common theme connects all this exhibition’s stories, that the museum’s responsibility towards collections and its commitment to forging long-term respectful, pacified relations with their cultural heirs and heiresses.
Often viewed as the global cradle for international humanitarian response and human rights values, Geneva’s history is also linked to a darker side that helped promote inequality and racism.
The Remembering exhibition shows how Geneva actively supported and financed Belgium’s colonisation and crimes in Congo, among others, and questions motivations of the Red Cross’s founders in the late 19th century.
