It’s still ski season so maybe you are looking to get up to the mountains. But you might also fancy getting into the festival season too. Well, next week you can do both as Andermatt is the location for the High Peak Festival which features some pretty heavy hitters in the world of Hip-Hop. Headlines include Busta Rhymes, Eve, Timbaland and Xzibit, (who i’m hoping will fix my car.) The festival takes place on Friday 11th and Sat 12th April and there is still tickets available.

p.s. If you are in any doubt that the world of rap and hip hop is a man’s world, check out the number of female artists in the programme. Three out of Forty Two! NOWHERE NEAR ENOUGH!

11th & 12th April, High Peak Festival, Andermatt

Shoili Kanungo actually lives and works in New Delhi. At the moment, however, she is taking part in an artist residency at Luzern’s Neubad and will be showcasing her illustrations at the Fumetto Comic Festival from this coming Saturday. She not only told me about her journey—which has taken her from a boarding school deep in the South Indian jungle to university in Sydney and beyond—but also about what is currently bringing her joy. And as it turns out, we have quite a bit in common. But read for yourself.
