TiM TaM City Art Walk
Date: Saturday, 19 September 2026 / 13:00–16:00
Language: German and English
New Botanical Garden, Zollikerstrasse 107, 8008 Zurich

On September 19, 2026, a city walk will take place; the goal is to discover plants in the urban space together.

The walk will be led by art educator Alexandra Eichenauer and is based on the concept of Maurice Maggi, which makes everyday city plants visible as medicinal and useful plants. Participants will explore the city landscape, identify plants, and learn about their use in the kitchen and healing arts.

The city walk builds upon the exhibition “Back to the Roots” at the AIA art space (2022). Following the walk, there will be a guided tour of the exhibition at the New Botanical Garden, also led by Alexandra Eichenauer.

After the city walk, we will meet at the Botanical Garden to explore the Botanical Memories exhibition together and end the day with an aperitif.

Performance LUCIDA SONĜO by Olga Kokcharova and Luc Müller

Curated by Nathalie Rebholz

Date: Saturday, 19 September 2026 / 16:00–17:10
Language: German and English
New Botanical Garden, Zollikerstrasse 107, 8008 Zurich

“Lucida Sonĝo” is an artistic sound project born from the collaboration between Olga Kokcharova (sound artist and composer) and Luc Müller (drummer and percussionist). Their approach explores the intimate relationship between humans and the environment through immersive residencies in contrasting landscapes: first in an isolated valley in Ticino (Switzerland), then in the primary forest of Gran Chaco (Argentina). By immersing themselves in the soundscapes of these places, they record, improvise, and compose works that blend acoustic sounds, electronics, and field recordings. Their goal is to transpose these experiences into a performance combining percussion, electronics, and multitrack diffusion, offering the audience a sensory and poetic experience where the boundary between reality and dream blurs. The project embraces an ecosophical approach, seeking to new forms of artistic creation that are not imposed on the place, nor are they extracted from it, but are intimately interwoven with it.
