Centre leadership has been working closely with curator and international policy specialist Hannah Entwisle Chapuisat, who produced a 2025 CDHM-commissioned report on expanding a visiting artist-researcher programme. In October, the Centre published a piece in Global Challenges, entitled “Why Art? Exploring the Role of ‘Art and Social Science’ Approaches to the Interdisciplinary Study of Multilateralism”.
For the 2025-2026 academic year, CDHM Visiting Fellows dramaturge Caroline Barneaud and documentary theatre artist Stefan Kaegi are leading an artistic residency project with (post)doctoral researchers Amanullah Mojadidi and Atwa Jaber on subjective and multilateral approaches to researching the archives of International Geneva that they will complement with personal archives. The project will culminate with a public performance on 26th May 2026.
The CDHM welcomed award-winning filmmaker Jean-Stéphane Bron as a Visiting Fellow in Autumn 2025. Exploring both fictional works and documentary film, Bron is working with the CDHM and partnered IOs to explore a fictional project rooted in the archives of International Geneva.
By engaging with novelists, poets, filmmakers and performers, the CDHM’s founders hope to forge relationships that go beyond established academic disciplines, and to raise new resources from donors to deepen the creative dialogue necessary to reinvent the multilateralism of the future.
