The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum in Geneva presents \u201cHumanitarian, by Design?\u201d until Sunday 29 August 2027. The exhibition shows nearly 200 objects and photographs, most of them for the first time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition is part of the transformation of the museum\u2019s permanent exhibition. This work began in summer 2026 and continues until 2028, the year of the museum\u2019s 40th anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who organises it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum organises the exhibition. It works with the Geneva Graduate Institute, HEAD \u2013 Gen\u00e8ve, the University of Copenhagen and the EssentialTech Centre at EPFL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The curatorship comes from the research project \u201cThe Future of Humanitarian Design\u201d (HUD).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to find<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition brings together first-aid kits, tents, prostheses, maps and makeshift shelters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It shows improvised, institutional or repurposed design in crises, displacement and extreme poverty. Visitors see reused plastics, \u201carchitectures of waiting\u201d, personal stories and images of crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition asks visitors a question. How does humanitarian action concern each of us, here and now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
