What we associate with stability and durability is slipping. Climate change is altering the Alps - visibly and tangibly: rockfalls, shrinking glaciers, debris flows and a lack of snow.

What we associate with stability and durability is slipping. Climate change is altering the Alps - visibly and tangibly: rockslides, shrinking glaciers, debris flows and a lack of snow. These changes in the Alpine region have far-reaching consequences for the lives of people in the mountains.

The exhibition "When mountains slide" focuses on the canton of Glarus and shows how climate change is not only altering landscapes, but entire living environments. Sixteen audio texts bring us closer to the changes in the mountains - people talk about their relationship with nature, how their views are changing as a result of the climate crisis and what images of the future are emerging from this. They show a multi-layered picture of the present: loss and uncertainty, adaptation and the search for new paths. People look at the changes from different perspectives. But their questions, wishes and hopes are not local - they affect us all. The exhibition encourages people to engage with these issues and take on different perspectives.

An exhibition by the Sito collective Zurich-Glarus.
