Tour de Lorraine 2024
7er Studio was responsible for the visual appearance of the 23rd Tour de Lorraine. The colour combination of silver and orange accompanies visitors through the political festival, which explores the city of solidarity in workshops, theatres, discussions and concerts and invites to join in and participate. “Solidarische Stadt! Wir alle sind Bern” is the motto of this year’s edition. Accordingly, 7er Studio has various figures appear on posters, which also function as foldable programme booklets, placemats, advertisements and on social media, holding on to each other and exploring together.
The festival describes itself on their website as follows (translated from German):
The Tour de Lorraine is a resistance festival that emerged in 2001 as a protest against neoliberal exploitation, the WEF and in favour of a sustainable future. As an independent political festival, we place the development of alternatives at the centre. Depending on the topic, the volunteer collective is formed anew and organises workshops, panels, cultural events and much more. An important component is the long night of concerts. One admission opens the doors to 17 venues around the Lorraine and the proceeds from the legendary solo party are distributed to emancipatory projects.
“We are all Bern” is a movement for a city of solidarity. It has a special role to play among all our fellow campaigners this year. An association that fights for diversity and migration to be recognised as a social reality. It is about the participation of all residents of the city. The present and future should be co-determined by everyone and shaped on an equal footing!
