AfroSwissters REMAIN x Kunsthaus Zürich x Zurich Art Weekend
14 June 2026 · Kunsthaus Zürich
REMAIN — Kerry James Marshall at Kunsthaus Zürich
We begin the evening together as a community.
We meet at 16:00, and at 16:30 AfroSwissters members, along with partners and family, are invited to a private guided limited spaces tour with Cathérine Hug, curator at the Kunsthaus Zürich.
This is a dedicated moment to engage more closely with the exhibition, ask questions, and experience the work in a more intimate setting.
Following the tour, we transition into the public REMAIN format as part of Zurich Art Weekend — open to a wider audience.
Together with invited speakers, we hold space for a panel discussion on Kerry James Marshall, bringing in perspectives from across the Afro-diasporic community, as well as curatorial and artistic voices.
The evening continues with an aperitif, music, and informal exchange.

Note for our community
This evening moves between intimacy and openness.
We gather first as AfroSwissters, and then open the space to others.
Feel free to invite colleagues, friends, and those curious to engage more deeply, especially for the public part of the evening.
