For many women, to age is a social death. Rebellious against a society that stigmatizes ageing and worships youth, I decided to act through my art. My project values women gaining age and gives her a central place in a world which tends to erase her through a series of portraits. Help me deconstruct to rebuild by supporting my exhibition.

V-Day is a global activist movement that aims to eradicate violence against women and girls. Through annual V-Day campaigns like The Vagina Monologues, local volunteers raise awareness and gather funds for organizations within their own communities who are working towards the same goals. The first edition of The Vagina Monologues in Basel took place in 2017. Following the successful premiere, there was much enthusiasm to continue with The Vagina Monologues in Basel on a yearly basis. Which brings us to now: the presentation of the second edition. There are various aspects to The Vagina Monologues that makes this a unique performance – one that carries a long and varied history of productions throughout the world. Firstly: this is a play that is based on women’s true accounts. It is, by definition, authentic and adaptable. Secondly, the production of The Vagina Monologues is a non-profit-based-and-led project, run solely by volunteers. It is worth pointing out how many people have already contributed their support to this project, dedicating time, effort and passion to its development since spring of this year. This includes the five production team members and 16 cast members, as well as the various individuals who have helped out with filming/editing, proofreading and photography, among other activities. Thirdly, according to the V-Day guidelines, all profit will be donated to a local organization that aims to end violence against women and girls. This year, like last year, we are donating our profits to Aliena, an organization committed to improving the conditions of women working in the sex trade in Basel. Another guideline we adhere to is to produce The Vagina Monologues both locally and at a low budget. This being said, we are asking for your financial support to help cover our production costs, which include but are not limited to the rehearsal space, the venue and the printing costs. We appreciate any and all contributions!

Our set of percussion instrument which we purchased over the last decade has been under heavy use. It shows severe signs of wear and tear and will soon need a partial replacement. But to do so we need generous donors which support us in our cause. There are many different percussion instruments that see themselves gaining more importance in today’s music. So if we want to continue performing music on a high level and give kids and teenagers in the area the possibility to gain valuable experience we need financial support. If you think we deserve it we ask you kindly to donate to our club. Even a small amount will serve us a lot.

Our hens have to move as their run is turned into a human settelment. Grün Stadt Zürich has found a new place for them and donated a fence. Thank you very much! Now we have to turn the fallow into a meadow, put up a new shed and construct a roof protecting the animals from rain and sun. The finfteen-year-old house has to be renovated and fitted out to meet the chickens' needs. That's what we are trying to finance. The association "Verein Hühnerhof" has been keeping chicken on the Kronenwiese in the middle of the city of Zürich for more than fifteen years. A dozen beautiful hens live to a ripe old age in a carefully designed house with a wide space to move about. Their enclosure is a pleasent point of interest to many – families with small children on their way to the playground as well as senior citizens living in nearby homes. The hens teach us, where eggs come from and how it works to live in a flock. May our hens live happily at Niklausstrasse ever after the end of April!
