Queer
Bay Day
2025

In short

Queer Bay Day Turns 5!

 

On August 1st, 2025, Queer Bay Day returns for its fifth edition in the courtyard of Rote Fabrik and along the Zürisee-Bay – a summer celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community and culture from Zurich and across Switzerland.

 

Gather your loved ones, bring your swimming gear and join us at Rote Fabrik for Queer Bay Day! Once again, August 1st will stand as a day of queer solidarity – an antidote to the patriotic and traditional Swiss celebration. As queer rights continue to be challenged and queer identities are politically scrutinized we remember: LGBTQIA+ rights are human rights – always.

 

Come join us for a full day of workshops, networking and art, snacks and music, water and sun. Connect, explore, cuddle and shake it to juicy beats. 💦

Opening times:

14:00–22:00 – workshops, DJ sets, food, bar & more – for detailed program please click “Program”

We can’t wait to see you there! 🌈❤️

Shedhalle – Queer Bay Day 2025
2026-01-01

Laura Amann Marín and Jen Kratochvil are the new curatorial directors of Shedhalle Zurich

In short

The Board of Shedhalle is delighted to announce that Laura Amann Marín and Jen Kratochvil have been appointed as the new curatorial directors of Shedhalle Zurich for the period 2026 to 2030. Together with managing director Sonia d’Agrain, they will shape the Shedhalle’s programme over the next five years. They will take up their posts on 1 January 2026.

 

The new curatorial directors were selected from 66 team applications in a multi-stage selection process. The decisive factor was their compelling curatorial vision: the Shedhalle as a place that brings together diverse identities – queer, feminist, radical, contemplative and dialogical – and is dedicated to the ideas of complexity, contradictions and inclusion.

In the framework of the Closing of ProtoZone18: Unfamiliar Evermore

 

Furtherset is the musical project of Venice-based composer and visual artist Tommaso Pandolfi (b. 1995). His compositions’ distinctive traits are melodic loops, synthetic clusters and rarefied ambiences. The project follows a path towards saturation and layering, yet always manages to create voids where listeners can find their place and fill them according to their own focus.

 

Active since 2011, he has released the EPs “Auras” (2022), “To Alter and Affect” (2018) and “Drawings of Desire and Hate” (2018), as well as the albums “To Live Tenderly Anew” (2020) and “The Infinite Hour” (2023) on the Swiss label -OUS. The new album, “Wounds of Melody,” will be released on Kohlhaas in May 2025.

 

His music has been presented at festivals and institutions such as Club To Club, Bad Bonn Kilbi, Triennale Milano, Teatrino di Palazzo Grassi, Istituto Svizzero, MACRO.

 

He has curated sound or live soundtracks for films and videos by Benedetta Fioravanti, Pedro Maia, Artavazd Pelešjan.
