On Saturday, numerous artists take action.
Another xenophobic popular initiative will be put to the vote in November: The Ecopop initiative. The network KUNST+POLITIK(arts+politics) appeals to artists to speak up. If the initiative were accepted by the Swiss population, this would not only advance the political sealing off, but it also would affect the artistic production in Switzerland. Under the header EGOPOP, the 25th October's activities are coordinated.
