The Swiss Path
Along the historic ‘Swiss Path’, an innovative installation is being created that combines art, history and modern technology. A special highlight is a graffiti jam that invites artists to design five tunnel walls with their works on the theme of ‘The Cradle of Switzerland’. The new production is generously supported by the Dätwyler Foundation, the New Regional Policy, the Markant Foundation and the Victorinox Foundation.
