SPECIAL PROGRAMME: Guided Tour – Accessing the Space

Guided by Frederik Güntensperger
Location: outside/inside the museum, starts at the main entrance to the Botanical Garden

Come on, we live in 2025 and public buildings are accessible! Make up your own mind. Frederik will provide wheelchairs for participants to access the Ethnographic Museum, a building of the University of Zurich, so you can understand what it’s like to navigate these public spaces in a wheelchair.

Regard Bleu was organized by students at the University of Zurich. Frederik is one of them. Part of the planning week for this festival took place in the Ethnographic Museum. Frederik decided that this could be a chance to give other people a first-hand experience – to show them how he experiences access to the museum, so you can better understand what he is talking about. 

We meet at gate of the Botanical Garden. We will go up to the museum – everyone using a wheelchair. As we reach the entrance hall, the journey will be discussed with Frederik, who is eager to hear about your experience. 

• No registration needed first come, first served – wheelchairs are limited
• Cost free (donations welcomed to support our non-profit festival!)
• Language English

About Frederik Güntensperger

I’m Frederik, your guide. I’m 29 years old and currently pursuing my Master’s in Social and Cultural Anthropology and Digital Skills at the University of Zurich. I have a passion for travelling, experiencing different cultures, and meeting new people – some say I like dogs best. In my free time, you’ll find me where others are – playing games with friends, attached to walls while climbing, or playing guitar and singing. I love music.  If someone dislikes my music, I suspect they might have hearing issues. Oh, and about the wheelchair – I almost forgot to mention it, which happens sometimes. You might call me disabled, but probably you haven’t met me yet. People say I’m friendly – some even say I’m funny. Lately, though, my life consists of dealing with disability insurance, orthopaedic issues, writing emails to complain about accessibility, and occasionally needing to study – that’s what students do.
