Am 3. August fand in Bern die zweite BernPride statt. Rund 10'000 Menschen nahmen an der Kundgebung teil und liefen von der Schützenmatte über die untere Altstadt auf den Bundesplatz, wo im Anschluss das eigentliche Pride Festivall statt fand.
The 41st edition of the Gurtenfestival took place on Bern's local mountain, Gurten, from 17 to 20 July. In addition to international artists such as Nelly Furtado, Peter Fox and Giant Rooks, national heroes such as Patent Ochsner, Nemo and To Athena also thrilled the audience. I was there for four days and was part of a great team taking photos for the Gurtenfestival.
From Thursday, June 6 to Sunday, June 9, athletes from all over the world competed against each other in various athletics disciplines in Nottwil. I was able to be there for liveit.ch for a day on June 8 and record the competitions.
June 14 was the nationwide feminist strike day. According to the organizers, around 50,000 people took to the streets in Bern. Across Switzerland, there were around 300,000 people. The participants are demanding a change to the patriarchal and capitalist system. Some of the demands are as follows: the introduction of parental leave, better childcare conditions, equal pay for equal work, etc.
A national assembly was held in Bern at 13:33, where FINTA people voted on their demands. In the afternoon, there was a baby carriage parade that addressed the demands in childcare and in the early evening, the big rally started on the Schützenmatte in the direction of the Bundesplatz.
The photo series was photographed for the feminist strike collective Bern and the Purple Eye photography collective.
