THE SHIP OF TOLERANCE - Ilya and Emilia Kabakov
With the Ship of Tolerance, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov seek to bring people of different continents, cultures and identities together by actively involving them in the project. Respect towards foreign cultures and ideas and acceptance of differences is to be attained by means of joint action.
First realized in the oasis town of Siwa in Egypt in 2005, the Ship of Tolerance has meanwhile made appearances in such widely diverse locations as Venice, St Moritz, Havana, Miami, Moscow and New York. Now it is in Zug: a region which ‒ with residents from more than 140 nations ‒ is living proof of how the most varied cultures and life designs can coexist peacefully. But Zug is also a region whose economy is subject to global tensions. So it is exactly the right place for a further realization of the Ship of Tolerance project.
