iPhone Photography Workshop

Once again, the iPhone workshop organised by the Centrepoint Photography Club has attracted a great deal of interest. Over the course of three evenings, the enthusiastic participants were guided through everything from optimal camera settings and camera handling to comprehensive editing options.

Answering the Call

It was no surprise that Centrepoint had a large turnout for the exhibition “London Calling: Swiss-British Cultural Exchange” on April 23. As part of an international organisation in Switzerland with English as the common language, Centrepoint’s members are already part of the ongoing exchange.

Timeless Beauty at the Andreas Ernst Sammlung in Muttenz

While Bronwen Saunders (Centrepoint's Talks Coordinator) was searching for a solution to repair her heirloom clock, she came into contact with John Joseph, a timepiece repairer and restorer with over 40 years of experience. Trained in London, John moved to Bern in the 1990s and took over Hermann Schudel’s traditional workshop in Basel in 1998. John’s speciality is restoring timepieces – mechanical watches, pendulums, grandfather clocks and pocket watches – with special cultural or technical significance.

Year-round Fasnacht

The best way to enjoy Fasnacht is live — at the Morgestreich or one of the parades, concerts or lantern displays. But if you don’t enjoy waking up before 4 am or standing outside in the cold, you can also experience it year-round at the Basler Fasnacht exhibition at the Museum of Cultures.
