“Schwingen is a traditional Swiss wrestling, considered a national sport that becomes especially popular in the rural areas of the country. This tradition has always been associated with the adult male figure and it was not until a short time ago that women and children were able to participate in it.
This mural represents the evolution and transformation of the hegemonic norm that drags from ancient traditions and is accepted as natural or inevitable just because of its antiquity.
On the mural we see the fight between two local children, Matteo Suter and Vera Schlüchter who would win the fight.
The photograph was taken by the great local photographer René Nussbaumer.”
