Public guided tour in sign language. Stranger in the Village

Events

In his famous text Stranger in the Village, the U.S. writer James Baldwin processed his experience in Switzerland in the 1950s, which was permeated by racism. Baldwin's words continue to inspire many artists today. They hold up a mirror to us as a society and have lost none of their explosive power. The group exhibition addresses belonging and exclusion through current works by artists from Switzerland and the international scene. It poses questions that concern us all.

The mediator Lua Leirner guides through the exhibition in sign language.
