ESC Memory Box
Basel, CH
The ESC Memory Box is a participatory collecting pilot project of the Historical Museum Basel, that I initiated together with a few colleagues during the Eurovision Song Contest in Basel. In a first phase, in April 2025, we worked with different associations from Basel, who contributed an object with a personal story to the museum collection. In the second phase the audience can bring their own objects and share stories in a container / office / exhibition in the public space. In the third part of the project members of the associations will decide together with museum collaborators which objects and stories will be kept in the permanent collection of the Historical Museum Basel.

Opening Vereinsküche
Museumsquartier Bern, CH
Opening second season of the Vereinsküche (Associations' kitchen) at the Museumsquartier Bern, with some of the involved protagonists.
In 2022, the artist Seraina Dür launched this project with the support of the city of Bern's art in public spaces fund.
Together with five associations from Bern, Seraina looked for an answer to the question what the Museumsgarten
should look like. The answer was a covered kitchen that can be used by various visitors for free throughout the summer:
the association Mazay offers courses, coffee ceremonies and much more for and by people with refugee background, neighbours celebrate their birthdays, institutions hold meetings, pupils of the high school hang out,...
The project is a great example of participation, inclusion and diversity.
And can be booked for free.
