Just look at Switzerland!

Do you need mountains to recognise Switzerland?

Who looks at Switzerland and no longer sees just the three white old men from the Appenzell advert? Seriously, take a look at Switzerland! ‘We’re not just statistically more – we could also be more politically!’ says Fatima Moumouni – and perhaps her guests agree. But who is ‘we’?

The DIASBOAH platform’s LATE NIGHT SHOW is entering its third round – with a new look, at a new venue and, this time, with Fatima Moumouni as the host. The setting: NGANDA. Inspired by Afro-diasporic gathering places, a hangout spot is taking shape on Gessnerallee – somewhere between a pub, a neighbourhood meet-up, a rumour mill and an unofficial parliament. A place to come together, argue, laugh and discuss politics, and to take a closer look at Switzerland together. With a late-night band, of course!

VOL. 3 is about a narrative of contemporary Switzerland that hasn’t quite caught up with itself yet. The Black, queer, Muslim presenter guides the audience through a show that blends gossip with political analysis, rants with high culture, resistance with entertainment. Featuring guests who have opinions and are making the world a better place.

Following the Late Night Show, there’ll be a party, curated by MALEFI SOUNDSYSTEM.
