On the day of the feminist strike, the women artists' collective Hulda Zwingli invites people to reclaim the empty plinth of a former monument in the Arboretum. With a small intervention, Hulda Zwingli transforms the original inscription "Vaterland nur Dir!" (Fatherland only for you!) into "MUTterland" (Motherland / Courage-land), turning the pedestal into a platform for anyone who wants to stand on it and immortalize themselves. The work invites people to collectively evolve monuments and break down hierarchies.

‍

Step onto the pedestal, take a selfie, share it on social media with the hashtag #zuricharchipelago, and tag @kioer.
