Birkenstock goes public on New York Stock Exchange_我的网站

一 |     Birkenstock took a big step forward on Wall Street this week, taking the nearly 250-year-old German shoe and sandal maker public.The footwear, often seen as a counter culture shoe for hippies, and in more recent years influencers, has become must-have footwear for many people, but Birkenstock's Initial Public Offering, or IPO, which was originally priced at $46 per share, didn't attract the dress shoe-wearing stock brokers on Wednesday.Shares opened at $41, near the lower end of its expected range of $44 to $49 set a week prior, as Birkenstock CEO Oliver Reichert rang the opening bell in a room surrounded by traders sporting the opened-toed footwear and others waving the sandals in the air.Birkenstock Holding Ltd. sold nearly 10.8 million shares in the offering, which raised about $495 million on the day. Its shareholders sold an additional 21.5 million shares, according to the Associated Press."Through the strong reputation and universal appeal of our brand -- enabling extensive word-of-mouth exposure and outsized earned media value -- we have efficiently built a growing global fanbase of millions of consumers that uniquely transcends geography, gender, age and income," Birkenstock said in a recent regulatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, according to the AP.What started out in 1774 as a somewhat frumpy, but functional arch support sandal has transformed into a cult fashion item and billion dollar business, bolstered with support from the recent blockbuster hit "Barbie" when Margot Robbie's character is forced to choose between high heels or the strappy suede footwear.In tandem with the opening on Wall Street, Birkenstock hosted three consumer activations in public parks throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn.To highlight New York as "the city that never stops walking," the brand created what it dubbed "Birkenfields" for a public sensory experience that explored the brand's nearly 250-year heritage and expertise in foot health.The global brand is deeply rooted in foot health maintenance as well as a family tradition of shoemaking: Its inventor sought to provide function, quality and tradition as Birkenstock's core values.Over 95% of Birkenstock products are assembled in Germany with more than 90% of their materials and components sourced from Europe, ensuring the brand meets "the highest environmental and social standards in the industry by operating state-of-the-art scientific laboratories for materials testing," according to a company press release.。    　　广东佛山8月26日电 第三届“艺术在樵山——广东南海大地艺术节2026”正在佛山市举办，作为本届艺术节九江片区最重要的展场之一，位于烟南村烟桥古村的华侨名人何晃钊故居推出全新展览《相遇——在边界流动处》，以当代艺术诠释侨乡记忆与离散守望。

二 | 　　本届艺术节以“最初的湾区”为永久主题，“向水而行”为本届主题，实施区域覆盖南海区西部西樵、九江、丹灶三镇414.36平方公里内的12个区域，汇聚来自31个国家和地区的172组/203位艺术家呈现134个艺术作品。　　《相遇——在边界流动处》由策展人庞海龙策划，展览以文化地理学为研究框架、地缘美学为叙事线索，以九江镇侨乡原生场域——何晃钊故居为载体，立足百年华人“下南洋”的迁徙脉络，梳理侨乡本土历史，展现南海与南洋在地缘、族群、文化上的双向互动与交融。　　烟桥村作为岭南典型古村落，拥有近600年历史，历史上便有族人远渡南洋、商贸谋生的传统。何晃钊故居作为家族记忆与侨乡历史的空间载体，其砖木结构、庭院格局等生活遗存共同构成了原乡文化的物理见证。

三 | 　　展览汇集了出生于20世纪40年代至90年代的十位海内外跨代际艺术家，包括两类创作者：祖辈曾下南洋的中国籍艺术家，以及拥有华人血统的新加坡、马来西亚、印度尼西亚、泰国、菲律宾等东南亚籍艺术家。新加坡艺术家黄晨晗创造了一套视觉书写系统，将基因密码、世代传承的书写体系，以及身体化的编码钥匙交织于一体，来回应他对家族离散经验中跨世代的记忆与关联。

四 | 中国艺术家谭婧以归国华侨祖父的经历为蓝本，在《阿雄出走了》中探讨身份认同。这些紧扣“童年记忆”与“侨乡故事”的创作，以作品回望家族记忆，在历史回溯中撷取时代碎片，以当代视角重释迁徙文化的深层价值。

五 | 　　展览分为三大板块。

六 | 主题艺术展集中展示艺术家的核心创作；南海·南洋文献展梳理了自汉代至今的历史时间轴、下南洋迁徙航路脉络，并辅以侨批实物展陈，完整呈现泛南海民众迁徙的漫长历程以及与南洋地区多元文明交错共生的社会肌理；特设“再生项目空间”作为主题展的动态延伸，围绕“边界流动”这一核心，以更多维度、更灵活的方式探讨迁徙文化、身份流动、跨文化对话等议题。三大板块彼此支撑，层层递进，以文献锚定过往记忆，以艺术创作展开文化思辨，共同构建完整的空间叙事体系。　　据悉，第三届广东南海大地艺术节将持续至2027年1月3日，何晃钊故居作为九江烟南村核心展场，将在整个展期内持续向公众开放。
