Isabelle von Walterskirchen is the manager of PETZI, the association of contemporary live-music venues that develops and puts in place tools & lobbying for its network of concert halls and festivals in Switzerland. She’s a central figure of Swiss underground culture, as event-organizer (DECONSTRUCTION CLUB) and activist for nightlife and NPO-culture. She is involved as much on a European level as she is closer to home: she is president of Zurich’s nightlife-council (Nachtstadtrat Zürich) and board-member of Live DMA, the European network of contemporary live-music venues and festivals.
