Broken Landscape by Verena Metz Zumaran
In the interests of economic development in South American countries, the Amazon rainforest has long been viewed primarily as an exploitable source of raw materials. Broken Landscape, an immersive and interactive installation by Verena Metz Zumaran, presents a specific case from the area of La Pampa, Perú. It illustrates an urgent truth: that the fragile ground beneath us — socially, ecologically and politically — can no longer sustain this destructive model.
An Exhibition in collaboration with Atelier Mondial and Im Schaufenster.
Open Studios at Atelier Mondial
We warmly invite you to the Open Studios at Atelier Mondial on Tuesday, November 11, from 5pm until 8pm.
Our four Artists in Residence, arriving from different corners of the world, have come together at Atelier Mondial — each bringing unique perspectives, stories, and artistic languages. On this evening, they will open the doors to their studios and share their creative processes, inspirations, and the stories behind their art.
Join us for an inspiring gathering filled with art, conversation and reflection— accompanied by a cozy winter Aperol and good company.
