Slavs and Tatars: Simurgh Self-Help

By replacing the nationalistic eagle with the metaphysical Simurgh in the work of Broodthaers, Slavs and Tatars apply an Eastern angle to a Western art worldFor Ringier's 2025 edition of its annual report, the Swiss media company tapped artist collective Slavs and Tatars to design it. Simurgh Self-Help revisits Marcel Broodthaers' Département des Aigles and replaces its eagle with the Simurgh, a mythical bird found across the Turkic-Persianate world that the artists envision as transnational, metaphysical and flamboyant, if not gender-fluid.
