We’re in sunny Geneva for a groovy performance in front of the Saint-Pierre Cathedral.
In this episode we uncover the true identity of this city surrounded by the Alps and Jura mountains, beyond its reputation for wealth and luxury. A place rich with culture, history and creativity.
You’ll meet a local archaeologist and an art historian, explore Geneva’s heritage through 2000 years of history and discover how radical events in the 16th century transformed this city forever. You’ll also learn about Switzerland’s unconventional political system; understand how squat culture changed the artistic, social and political landscape of Geneva in the 80s and 90s; hear about social struggle in overlooked suburban neighbourhoods; and move to cutting edge sounds influenced by global scenes, in one of the most ethnically diverse places in Europe.
