BIGNIK valais pur

Following the principle of “hunting, sewing and laying out,” the cloths required for BIGNIK are first collected, then sewn together and finally laid out. In order to do justice to the message “Valais on a cloth”, activities will be initiated continuously over the next three years, which will contribute to the Valais-specific concerns of the newcomers on the one hand and support the BIGNIK vision of the oversized giant cloth on the other. One cloth per inhabitant – that's exactly 357,282 cloths. The project sponsors want their idea to gain a foothold beyond the language border in Lower Valais in the long term. Whether patterned, more beige or orange or Bordeaux: since April 2024, white and red scarves have been collected through scarf collections to achieve the vision. If you want to drop off the cloths yourself, you can find collection points at the following locations: WNF Naters or tourist offices in Brig, Visp, Leuk and Sierre. At the same time, sewing workshops will be held to shape the collected cloths. The aim is to hold the first large-scale exhibition in fall 2024. Information on upcoming events can be found in our event overview. Don't miss out!
