🥳 In May, Löwenbräukunst celebrates its 30th anniversary! For this occasion we have put together a retrospective of the last three decades for you – featuring photographs from the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s. However, this series of images shows only a small glimpse of how Löwenbräukunst has established itself as a centre for contemporary art, continued to develop and become a defining cultural venue in Zurich.

Since May 1996, Löwenbräukunst has been the hotspot for contemporary art in Zurich. What was once an industrial area has become the vibrant heart of a new, bold art scene.

The move of Kunsthalle Zürich, Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst and Hauser & Wirth to Löwenbräukunst marked the start of a development that transformed the neighbourhood for good. Inspired by the youth movements of the 80s, a place emerged where art, subculture and social issues converged.

Highlights of the decade:
1996 – moves in (Photo: Kunsthalle Zürich)
1998 – Exhibition 'Jason Rhoades' at (Photo: Hauser & Wirth)
1998 – 'Das soziale Kapital' by Rikrit Tiravanija at (Photo: Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst)

🎥 We are pleased to present a new edition of CineLöwenbräukunst in collaboration with Center for Art Law Switzerland on May 12, 2026. The screening takes place at schwarzescafé/Luma Westbau and starts at 6pm.

'Elephants & Squirrels' (Gregor Brändli, Switzerland, 2025, 114 min.)

During her research in Swiss museums, Sri Lankan artist Deneth Piumakshi Veda Arachchige uncovers ancestral remains and cultural objects belonging to an indigenous Sri Lankan community Wanniyala-Aetto, brought to Basel over a century ago by Swiss naturalists. Decades after Sri Lanka’s first restitution demands were refused, Deneth and community chief Uru Warige Wannila Aththo set out to finally bring them home. The film confronts the audience with an urgent and multi-perspective reflection on ethics, power, historical responsibility, and cultural heritage.

The screening will be preceded by a conversation with film director Gregor Brändli and artist Deneth Piumakshi Veda Arachchige.
