Exciting event coming up…

🌊🧂 Deep beneath the Swiss Alps, where ancient salt seams tell a shared European story, a unique Irish cultural experience awaits.

Join us on 3 October 2026 at the spectacular Mines de Sel de Bex for a special screening of The Sea Inside Us, the acclaimed film by Irish artist Ruth E Lyons, accompanied by a live performance of its original score by Doimnic Mac Giolla Bhríde, Frances Morton and Aodhán Gavigan, in cooperation with curator Emer Lynch.

Set in the heart of a working salt mine, this event connects audiences directly with the film's subject: the vast prehistoric Zechstein Sea, whose geological legacy stretches from Ireland across Europe.

Presented by Salina Helvetica and the Embassy of Ireland in Switzerland as part of the cultural programme of Ireland's Presidency of the Council of the European Union 2026.

📍 Mines de Sel de Bex, Switzerland (Route des Mines de Sel 55, 1880 Bex)

🕝 14:30-17:00
🎟️ Free admission, registration required – only a few places remain…
