For organisational reasons, spontaneous sign ups will not be possible.Meeting point: main entrance of LowenbraukunstKeep yourself and others safe: please wear a mask during the tour.This Art Walk focuses on the architectural and cultural transformation processes of Zurich West. The former industrial area is characterized by an urban transformation in which the spirit of craftsmanship was preserved. Part of this history is the former brewery building Löwenbräukunst-Areal, which has been an art and culture hub since the mid-1990s. Together with the participants, the question will be discussed to what extent galleries, museums and the art school are involved in the gentrification process.
