HOMMAGE TO GERTRUDE DUBY BLOM AT HER 20TH DEATH ANNIVERSARY

Friday December 6th,  2013

Kafigturm-Bern

Marktgasse 67

3003, Bern.

18h00 – 20h00

Free Entrance / Donations accepted.

The Swiss Cultural Association Na Bolom.ch invites you to honor the memory of Gertrude Duby Bolom who died at almost 93 years of age in December 23th, 1993, in San Cristobal de las Casas, in the Mexican state of Chiapas where she lived and worked since 1943.

Duby Blom, a famous ethnologist and photographer, spent five decades fighting for the respect to the great Lacandon rainforest, one of the only two lungs in the American continent. In her native Switzerland she studied Horticulture in Niederlenz and Social Work in Zurich, two abilities she put to good use in Europe and in Mexico.

Trudi, as she was known, is considered the very first real ecological spirit in the world.

At the event, America Croisier will deliver her conference “Rencontres Forestières: Des cultures différentes pour une même passion” and Kyra Núñez-Johnsson will introduce “The life of a legend” a photographic show of Duby Blom’s long life.
