My book comes to life, giving rise to a multimedia theater performance with live elements, video projections, light effects, and music. A sensual, poetic, and political experience – with humor, depth, and an open perspective on what it means to be human in the 21st century.

Music brings people together. We have been doing this successfully for over 6 years. But in 2024, operating costs exploded. Due to the drop of income in day-to-day business, and as well in concert business, my brother and I are no longer able to generate the means it takes to found and operate the International Country Music Hall of Fame of Switzerland on our own.

Through the organization of various events and lectures on social topics, the cultural association Ananasli acts as a bridge between the German and Chinese-speaking communities. Taiwan in particular is at the center of attention due to the geopolitical situation.

The river. The roof. The stairs. For almost 20 years, Openair Wipkingen has been an important part of the cultural agenda in Wipkingen and the city of Zurich. A small neighborhood event has grown into a large festival that provides a stage for music and culture. Now the Openair needs 50,000 CHF to be able to continue.

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.

After six formative years in Zemun, Matrijaršija is relocating to a new space on the other side of Belgrade. The new home is a former bakery with lots of space for our dreams, but in need of some serious refurbishing. We ask you to participate in shaping the future of our collective’s autonomous cultural centre. In exchange for your support we offer our own production of fresh, eye-teasing prints by some of the most talented artists we know.

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!

L’idea che spinge ad organizzare questo Festival di Musica e Culture è la ferma convinzione che la conoscenza passi attraverso l’incontro, è quello che intendiamo promuovere con il festival Grin. Grin in dialetto di Roveredo vuol dire Grillo, e si vorrebbe che attraverso questo evento le persone si fermassero per una giornata ad ascoltare il canto degli altri; la scelta di un termine dialettale come nome del festival è necessaria ad affermare come l’incontro tra le diverse culture debba partire dalla conoscenza della propria. Grin è anche il suono della parola “Verde” in inglese e in questo caso rappresenta il luogo in cui si svolge l’evento, immerso nel verde, all’interno di un azienda agricola biologica. A livello musicale si vuole riproporre il concerto di musica indiana e integrare altre comunità presenti sul territorio Vallerano: -Comunità balcanica con concerto del gruppo musicale Balkan Lovers https://www.facebook.com/balkanlovers -Comunità africana con il concerto di Issa Kouyaté e Prisca Guanter https://www.facebook.com/naturalethno/ -Comunità indiana con il gruppo indo-germanico Neckarganga https://neckarganga.com Il programma dei workshop: - Danza Africana tenuto dalla maestra Cristiana Zenari - La Musica Classica Indiana tenuto dal maestro di Sitar Shyam Rastogi che propone un viaggio musicale nella sua città natale Varanasi - Workshop di fotografia di Alessandro Ligato “La natura come immagine statica” Nella sezione “news” verranno pubblicate le informazioni riguardo ai nuovi workshops in programma.
