Geneva and the Republic of the Marshall Islands: Crossroads

Sunday 22 May 2022, 14:00

Image d'un film où l'on voit la poétesse Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner. Elle est de dos, les cheveux long relâchés, habillée, dans l'eau transparente de la mer qui lui arrive à la taille.

Thematic visit of the temporary exhibition with Roberta Colombo Dougoud, curator of the Oceania collection at MEG. Temporary exhibition. Sunday, May 22 at 2 pm.

What links Geneva and the Republic of the Marshall Islands? How and why did the paths of these distant and different places cross? What is the dramatic reality that the inhabitants of this Micronesian archipelago have come to denounce in Geneva?
This visit proposes to unveil and hear this message through Marshallese objects and videos by the poet Kathy Jetñil-Kijiner.
