Credits:

The artworks presented in this exhibition show the results of the cross-cultural exchange between Swiss and Chinese artists and scientists. They have been created in the context of the "Sino-Swiss Residency Exchange"-project of the Zurich University of the Arts. During an immersive 5-months the artists explored, learnt and bridged the cultural caps of understanding at science institutes in China and Switzerland with focus on environmental issues related to mountain (shan) and water (shui).

THIS PROJECT IS PART OF THE EXCHANGE AND COOPERATION PROGRAMME «SWISS CHINESE CULTURAL EXPLORATIONS» OF PRO HELVETIA, THE SWISS ARTS COUNCIL.

Queersicht - ‹Filme of the Chinesischen Lgbt-World›
Chinese films are one of the main focuses at the 14th gay-lesbian film festival Queersicht in november 2010 in Bern. Since the foundation of the People's Republic of China in 1949, homosexuality was considered as a disease of the decadent west. In new millennium there was a liberalization - since 2001, gays and lesbians are no longer considered as mentally ill people.
