Arts and culture

Folk art serves as a visual narrative of our traditions. It bears witness to everyday life as well as significant moments in life, making these life instances timeless. Paper cutting is one of these very ancient arts, originating from another continent, which became a typical art of Alpine life in Switzerland. It plays with the interplay of light and shadow, multiple shapes, and sometimes the use of color, giving this activity a unique beauty that transforms paper into art.

How has this art transcended borders and endured through time, continuing to bear witness to traditions in our modern society today?
