Galerie Sechs Exhibition; Basel Fasnacht 2025

Kateryna Debkaliuk from Galerie Sechs joined us to talk about the upcoming art exhibition «Awakening – A Celebration of Renewal». Just in time for Fasnacht and the start of spring, the photo exhibit focuses on the theme of renewal, whether that's in nature, in spirit, in your personal life, or in culture at large. The vernissage for the show is this Friday, 7 March, at 18:00, so you can start your carnival celebration early with a glass of wine and an evening of artful photography. Listen to the interview here.

With Basel Fasnacht happening next week from Monday March 10th through Wednesday the 12th, we went into the details of each carnival day. For more information, check out our Fasnacht event page. And if you've ever wondered what a Clique, Gugge, Schnitzelbangg or Larve is, then head over to our handy Fasnacht dictionary!

No show during Fasnacht – we'll be back on air on March 18th!
