Book excerpt: The Musée international de la Croix-Rouge et du Croissant-Rouge owns a unique collection of posters from around the world. From the beginning of its history, the Humanitarian Movement uses this support to spread its messages and values. For the presentation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent, the recruitment of volunteers, the request for donations, the call for blood donation, the promotion of hygiene rules, the prevention of diseases or disasters, the dangers of mines or the teaching of first aid, posters challenge the public, inform and try to rally to the humanitarian cause. More than a means of communication, they are also witnesses of an era capturing the events that are shaking the world and the concerns of the regions in which they appear. Mirrors of society, the posters carry with them the history of the Movement, its actions, its necessity and, even more, its universality.00Exhibition: Musée International de la CroixRouge et Croissant-Rouge, Geneva, Switzerland (02.10.2019 - 26.01.2020).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A moving photographic inventory of objects from the Red Cross' museum This book is Henry Leutwyler's (born 1961) meticulous photographic record of the treasures of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum in Geneva. In his trademark style, Leutwyler does not merely document objects but creates portraits of them, conjuring their past lives and imbuing the inanimate with character. Leutwyler sifted through the nearly 30,000 objects in the museum, shaping a selection that conveys the vital functions of the Red Cross: to provide humanitarian protection and emergency aid, particularly for the poor and underprivileged. Leutwyler shows us objects famously symbolic of the Red Cross (first-aid kits, uniforms, armbands), confronting various finds (amputation saws, a cannonball) as well as the unexpectedly beautiful: delicate beaded flowers made by a prisoner of war. His focus is on the details of objects, their imperfections, decay and often the damage they have endured: evocative of the people who put them to real humanitarian use.

Book excerpt: The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum houses an extraordinary collection of 'prisoners' objects'. These were made by prison inmates and presented to the ICRC delegates who visited them, as provided for by the Geneva Conventions. For over a century, these objects have borne mute witness to the numerous violent episodes that continue to ravage our planet, from Chile, Vietnam, Algeria and Yugoslavia, to Rwanda and Afghanistan. Made from simple materials - whatever comes to hand in a prison - these objects express the need to escape the world of the jailbird. As a Lebanese inmate puts it, 'Creating is a way of acquiring freedom of expression, it gives us a means to say what we think while everything we see around urges us to keep quiet and to forget who we are.' While some of these works touch us through their simplicity, others astonish us with their beauty or ingeniousness. Each bears the imprint of a personal story loaded with emotion, inviting us on a journey through time and collective history.

Download or read book Museums for Peace written by Joyce Apsel and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Museums for Peace: In Search of History, Memory and Change highlights the inspiring as well as conflicting representations and purposes of diverse museums for peace around the world. Coming from various cultural and professional backgrounds, the authors explore “what are museums for peace and what do they mean?” Some chapters introduce alternative histories of peace, conflict, and memorialization. This innovative collection examines grassroots museums, military sexual slavery, historical memory in East Asia, and cultural heritage in the Africanized peace museum movement. The chapters discuss differing representations of Gandhi, technology of war and opposition to it, and structural violence such as racial terror and imperialism. Investigating how institutions interact with political and cultural forces, the volume demonstrates that some museums reinforce hegemonic narratives, while others resist authoritative tropes to reveal silenced histories, including peace histories. Museums for Peace will appeal to academics and students in museum studies, heritage studies, peace studies, memory studies, social justice, and human rights. Those working in cultural studies and trauma studies will also find this volume valuable.
