Women write the future
WHAT’S IT ABOUT? Right next to Zurich’s main train station, a BILLBOARD will showcase feminist visions of the future for an entire year: inclusive, surprising, diverse!
A structure measuring 18 × 5 meters will display 12 selected texts over the course of 12 months – sometimes provocative, sometimes humorous, sometimes critical, or poetic – but always feminist. Accompanied by public events, the BILLBOARD sparks discourse and encourages reflection and change in existing structures and mindsets.
WHY? Because it’s time to change structures and make new ways of thinking visible – boldly, loudly, and in the heart of the city.
WHEN? The BILLBOARD will be launched on May 11, 2025. To let it carry its 12 messages into the city and the world for a full year, we need your support!
BILLBOARD emerged from the collective strength of over 20 women – all volunteers, driven by ideas, vision, and a feminist spirit.
Feminist-artistic infrastructure for change
The BILLBOARD is intended not only to shape the cityscape but also to have a lasting impact on discussions, thinking, and practices related to feminist issues.
An open call in autumn 2024 invited submissions of texts in all languages from across Switzerland. A jury consisting of Elisabeth Joris, Laura de Weck, Mirjam Fischer, Fatima Moumouni, Sarah Akanji, and two members of créatrices, Nelly Pilz and Simone Spillmann, selected the most compelling entries and curated them for publication on the BILLBOARD.
Every day, thousands of commuters and pedestrians will have the opportunity to see the messages on the BILLBOARD. This broad visibility aims to encourage reflection on the role and rights of women in our society and to strengthen them.
Your support
The money from the wemakeit campaign goes directly into the realization of the project:
As of now, only the first two contributions are financially secured. To keep the BILLBOARD alive and present the remaining 10 selected texts, along with organizing supporting events, we need your support!!!
For the production and installation of the giant letters.
For the accompanying program at each unveiling (panel discussions, performances, talks).
For parts of the infrastructure.
The BILLBOARD is already planned and approved – now we need your support for the final push!
