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.
