We finished our China tour with a wonderful performance at a secret location in Beijing - so many emotions, lots of beautiful conversations about being queer in 2026, about how to let animals live, new friendships, some sightseeing and a lot of incredible vegan food 💛 A big thank you to everyone who made this tour possible. #queerart #veganinchina #queerbeijing #queeranimals

A big warm welcome to all my new followers 💓🫶🏽🐄 I’m so happy that my viral TEDx video brought you here. And i’ll take you on a wild ride with animal rights, art, drag, music, climate activism and queer joy 🌈✨ ps. I wish I could have recorded this greeting in full drag, but the Forbidden City in Beijing is not the best place for a drag cow 😂🐮 #vegan #dragactivism #cows #animals

Our tour in China has brought so many experiences, beautiful encounters, new tastes and also quite some unexpected complexities… It‘s not over yet, but i want to share some impressions: a very incomplete mix of performances, vegan food, behind the stage chaos, landscapes and most of all: the people who made this all possible. Scroll to the last slide to see my latest adventure: getting stuck in the mud with the car in the middle of beautiful Yunnan province. Thank you to @2000yihao @queerest_label @schwarzcoco @pianoprince_music @tomorrowmaybe_hk @chenyuen1314 @wangdi_film and also Gina, Floating, Monstar, Dao, Vee, Kate and so many more for your contributions 🌈✨🫶🏽

🌱🧩How can art balance traditional knowledge systems with contemporary expression? Each of the highlighted projects, developed by artists from Switzerland and the regions of our liaison offices, takes a different approach, yet all three share a commitment to non-extractive ways of engaging with the world and treat traditional knowledge as something living and evolving within contemporary art. Pro Helvetia furthers cultural exchange by supporting projects that explore innovative artistic practices and new forms of collaboration. 🔗 Read more via the link in bio. 📷 credits: 1: ‘Hiving and HUMing’ exhibition at Phillipi Village, Cape Town (@dunjaherzog ) © Slater Studio 2: Grass hives by Thembalezwe Mntambo (@dunjaherzog ) © Nokuzola Mntambo 3/5: Daniel Hellmann (@daniel_hellmann ) and Rafa Bqueer (@rafabqueer ) as their drag personas, Soya The Cow (@soyathecow ) and Uhura Bqueer (@uhurabqueer ), during their research for ‘De-Domestication‘ in Switzerland. 4: Photo of still from ‘Que no me quiten ni la lengua ni las patas’ by Humayun Memon (@palomito.a ) © Karachi Biennale Trust KB24 @prohelvetia_johannesburg @prohelvetia_newdelhi @prohelvetia_southamerica

MovingTowardsZero #5: Zwischen friedlicher Sabotage und Kollaps – Radikale Körper, radikaler Wandel Tadzio Müller, Soya the Cow Donnerstag, 29. Januar, 18 Uhr Im vierten Teil unserer Diskursreihe MovingTowardsZero treffen zwei aussergewöhnliche Stimmen des gesellschaftlichen Wandels aufeinander: Tadzio Müller, promovierter Politikwissenschaftler und Klimaaktivist der ersten Stunde, der seit mehr als 20 Jahren für Klimagerechtigkeit kämpft, und Soya the Cow, die als sex-positive, feministische, vegane Drag Kuh Geschlechternormen und Konsumgewohnheiten gleichermassen herausfordert. Welche Rolle spielt der Körper als Ort des Protests? Wie können performative und aktivistische Praxen zusammenwirken? Was passiert, wenn traditionelle Bewegungsmuster – politisch wie körperlich – aufgebrochen werden? Das Gespräch zwischen diesen beiden Protagonist:innen des gesellschaftlichen Wandels verspricht überraschende Perspektiven auf die Verschränkung von Klimagerechtigkeit, Körperpolitik und transformativer Kunst. Die Buchhandlung 1002F präsentiert vor Ort eine feine Auswahl an Büchern. MovingTowardsZero wird gefördert durch Fachstelle Kultur/swisslos Kanton Zürich, Stadt Zürich Kultur, Pro Helvetia Schweizer Kulturstiftung, Ernst Göhner Stiftung, Gemeinnützige Gesellschaft des Kantons Zürich In Kooperation mit One Planet Lab
