Salon der Gegenwart and Found in Translation

The new exhibition at Helmhaus Zürich grew out of two initiatives from the independent arts and culture scene. One of these is the «Salon der Gegenwart» an open, independent community of figurative painters from Canton Zurich. The other is ExpoTranskultur with the project «Found in Translation», a society dedicated to intercultural dialogue between newcomers to Zurich and Zurich natives.
