Trax Kurier from Format Records Zurich

Listening session from 16 until 18h during the Flohmi

Four years ago, it all began with an old, fire-red firefighter bus that he transformed into a traveling record shop with his own hands. What started as a crazy, heart-driven idea quickly turned into something bigger: now, in the third year of running his own record store in Zurich, Matteo shares his passion for music and vinyl with a growing community of like-minded souls.

Yunus Findus

Listening session from 14 until 16h during the Flohmi

The music-listening carpet likes fruit. Cucumbers & carrots too. In his day to day as jazz booker at Moods, he reads and writes countless artist bios, which is why he is committed to a world without curly parsley.

A tour of the ZWZ with the Raumbörse

What is ZW ? What is ZWZ ? What is the Josef-Areal ?
A tour of the Zwischennutzung with the Raumbörse

The temporary use of the former Zentralwäscherei facility is to be extended until 2035. If the final funds of use of the areal will be submitted to voters later this year, the temporary use of the space was reconducted last month by the City Council.

ZW is part of ZWZ, and we know that this is confusing sometimes. Our Verein, Zentralwäschrei, is an alternative cultural center at the Ground Floor of the ZWZ. It has a restaurant/bar, and two other rooms that offer a diverse program, but the ZWZ building does not stop at ZW, and many other associations and creatives are also in the building.

So, what does this Zwischennutzung actually entail? Raumbörse, which is the organ of the city that oversees the areal, will give a tour through the building through exciting studios such as the Bitwäscherei, Recreazz, and many more.

Meeting at 16:00 next to the bar in the Kleinwäscherei (restaurant)

About ZW-Fourever Festival

ZW-Fourever is our fourth anniversary. ZW officially opened in 2021, celebrating this occasion every year at the same time. The festival runs from Tuesday to Sunday and each day is composed differently, reflecting ZW’s broad cultural interest and vision.
editorial

All good things come in four, we say in Swiss German. Or something like that, whatever. We feel like it is good at the moment. And it will be fourever. What‘s to come and what to foursee is difficult, but we know now it will be something. You showed us that once again!

Zurich wants a place not fuelled by corporate logic, monetary interests, and inhumane business plans. We don’t want to divide and conquer; we want to get together and get lost. Zurich can be a cold and harsh city, like we once said, but it is also full of life, plenty of curious, funny, and loving people looking for alternatives to the narrative of cleanliness and performance. Google what, Google where, we say! We want to drink up the last drops of Zwinglianism and dance on the shattered remains of Zurich’s neoliberal walls, spaces to the people and culture however we want it, four you four me four us four now and four ever!
