A common sign for a common idea: Red Cross on a white background - since 1864, the sign initiated by Henry Dunant has been protecting helpers and those seeking help in armed conflicts.
Today, a red cross, a red crescent or a red crystal embody protection and help in distress worldwide. However, this protective function is regularly undermined by misuse of the emblems, by ignorance or unscrupulous warfare.

With impressive objects and posters, the exhibition illuminates the development and spread of this probably best-known emblem in the world. But the show also asks, along the lines of two current initiatives, what it takes for symbols and emblems to have an effect: "between two alphabets" by the artist Hoseyn A. Zadeh and a global flag project by the Belarusian opposition show how common symbols can unite and create identity.
