SUGARBIKE...
... is a project by Swiss artist Fanny Zihlmann, who travels alone as a diabetic with her bycicle for five months across various European countries. She documents in various ways what it's like to travel solo as a diabetic, highlighting both the stumbling blocks and opportunities, and demonstrating that it's possible.
In the different countries, she profiles artists with chronic illnesses and their work.
We can look forward to what emerges from this endeavor!
Insights into the process can be found on the blog. Enjoy!
WORKSHOP CONTENT:
A PLAYFUL WORKSHOP FOR DIABETICS TYP 1,
FRIENDS & FAMILY
Wondering how to travel with diabetes?
Can you still enjoy adventures? What about the challenges of breaking away
from your daily routine?
In my workshops, we have open conversations about living with diabetes. We use fun theater games to create a safe space where people with diabetes, along with their friends and family, can share stories and learn from each other. Instead of just discussing medical topics, we focus on how we handle diabetes in our daily lives - what helps, what we desire, and what frustrates us. The workshop aims to empower participants to discover their own unique journey with the condition.

THE ARTIST...
Fanny Zihlmann, born in 1995, is a freelance artist in the fields of theater, dance, circus, and clowning. Mainly active in Switzerland but also abroad. After her working as a healthcare professional, she subsequently studied theater with a focus on theater pedagogy at the Zurich University of the Arts. Type 1 diabetes has been part of her life for 24 years. "I wish for courage for those affected and their relatives. My diabetes is neither a friend nor an enemy; it simply belongs. Learning to be my own role model and experiencing firsthand what is possible is part of my journey. I want to report honestly and unvarnished on what it entails when I, as a diabetic, plunge into an adventure where not everything is predictable."
