We are all connected
The Great Exhibition of Bees “We Are All Connected” has reached another Swiss city. This time, the exhibition has arrived in Basel — one of Switzerland’s most vibrant cities of art — where it has found a new home at Notka Atelier.
The Great Exhibition of Bees continues its journey through Switzerland, bringing together art, nature, education and biodiversity. Its newest stop is Basel — a city known for its museums, galleries, artists and creative spirit.
The exhibition is presented in a unique format: 100 collectible postcards created by 100 artists. Each postcard is a small work of art and at the same time part of a much bigger story about wild bees, pollinators, biodiversity and the connections between people and nature.
The Great Exhibition of Bees × Notka Atelier
The Basel edition of the exhibition was presented at Notka Atelier during the official opening of this beautiful new space.
Notka Atelier is a place for art, creative encounters, workshops and unique objects created by artists and makers. We are incredibly happy that the Great Exhibition of Bees has found its place here.
Visitors can discover and collect postcards from the exhibition, as well as special art objects and products created for Together for Bees — all forming part of our ongoing story about art, nature and wild pollinators.
Also available are collectible pins from the Great Exhibition of Bees, embroidered patches, and handmade keychains — small pieces of art that allow you to take the story of Together for Bees with you.
Art you can take home with you

We would also like to congratulate Kasia Akkurt, the founder of Notka Atelier, on creating such a beautiful space filled with art, creativity and encounters.
Kasia is also one of the artists participating in the Great Exhibition of Bees, which makes this collaboration even more special. Her limited-edition linocuts and bee notebooks, just like other Together for Bees products, help us continue our work for wild pollinators.
We Are All Connected
The motto of this edition of the Great Exhibition of Bees — “We Are All Connected” — reminds us that art, nature, people, plants and pollinators are all part of the same story.
