The swiss Meeting is established since the early beginning of the MOS.

16-18 July 2010 – Int. MEETING OF STYLES, ZÜRICH (SWITZERLAND)

The spot: the wellknown Red factory at the bench of the Zurich-lake

Zürich is the largest city in Switzerland with a population of approx 400.000 and 1million in its urban areas.

The city is Switzerland’s main commercial and cultural centre and due to the concentration of financial power it is widely considered to be one of the world’s global cities.

According to several surveys the city should have the “best quality of life” in the world. It is a hub for rail, road, air and money traffic.

Eventhough there are many ugly walls around the city, and we really had some nice spots on the screen, but unfortunatley the municipality is still  conservative and restricitve towards Graffiti- and Mural-Art.

Nevertheless swiss Graffiti has a long history and remains strong in the days of conservatism.So welcome back to this island of multi-cultural creativity and exchange. The factory is located on the bench of the lake and an established cultural institution, self organised and independent.
	The factory has a lot of nice walls in various sizes for single pieces as well as for complex roductions. Stay tuned. More coming up!

Tolerance and acceptance
In Switzerland it is not easy to find good space for an international graffiti jam, as in many cities anti-graffiti campaigns run, and legal graffiti will not be tolerated. It is therefore a concern of the association “Meeting of Styles Switzerland” to show a broad audience the phenomenon of graffiti from its positive and artistic side. Manuel Gerullis, initiator of the world’s “Meeting of Styles” explains: “The aim of the meeting is one the one hand, to strengthen the network in the scene and the artists a forum to offer. Other hand, we want to raise awareness for a constructive dealing with the graffiti art and identify ways to integrate. This is the foundation for mutual acceptance. ”
