Rapidly melting ice sheets, booming tourism, three new airports under construction, ever-larger waste heaps, international investors in search of mineral resources, and a confident Greenland developing its Indigenous identity and independence. Greenland’s transformation is intense, turbulent, and contradictory. But what do the people there think of it all? What does this teach us about the world we live in? How do we deal with the dilemmas and contradictions? What scares us about it and what opportunities are at stake? This moving film installation is accompanied by an original Greenlandic soundtrack.

What we associate with stability and permanence is beginning to slip. Climate change is transforming the Alps – visibly and tangibly: rockfalls, shrinking glaciers, debris flows and lack of snow. These changes in the Alpine region have far-reaching consequences for the lives of people in the mountains. 

The exhibition "When Mountains Slide" focuses on the Canton of Glarus and shows how climate change is transforming not only landscapes, but entire ways of life. Sixteen audio texts create proximity to the changes in the mountains – people tell of their relationship to nature, how their perspective changes with the climate crisis and what visions of the future emerge from this. They show a multi-layered picture of the present: loss and uncertainty, adaptation and the search for new paths. People look at the changes from different perspectives. Yet their questions, wishes and hopes are not local – they concern us all. The exhibition challenges us to engage and invites us to adopt different perspectives.

Whether a selfie, postcard, stone or magnet – souvenirs preserve memories of our mountain journeys. The new exhibition at the Lost and Found Memories Office puts these mementos and their stories centre stage. This participatory format invites visitors to share their own souvenirs from mountain trips. Whether kitsch or status symbol – we're interested in what you bring back and what your souvenirs remind you of. With this new edition of the Lost and Found Memories Office, the ALPS tourism collection is expanded and various perspectives on current tourism questions are discussed.
