Culturescapes 2023 Sahara, a volcano of artistic works and experiences, is over after eight weeks of diverse exhibitions, performances, concerts, readings, and conversations. We still cannot quite get our heads around it ourselves! In this festival, we looked together into the topics of borders, resilience, and possible sustainable futures. Thank you for being with us in Basel, Bern, Zug, Bellinzona, Chur, Lausanne, Zürich, Baden, Dornach, as well as Bielefeld, Mulhouse, Dresden, Kortrijk, Valenciennes, and Roubaix! We had the honor to work with 129 artists, who created 127 events at 39 partner institutions and brought together some 42,000 visitors. Take a look at some highlights! And stay tuned for more stories about the upcoming Culturescapes 2025! 1 Serge Aimé Coulibaly & Faso Danse Théâtre, C La Vie, Culturescapes 2023 Sahara Opening, Theater Basel.
