Hochschultage / open house 2022

What does studying and teaching at the University of the Arts / Hochschule für Künste (HfK) Bremen look like? How has the corona pandemic changed artistic creation in the fields of music, art and design? The HfK invites you to Hochschultage, the university’s open house, on July 2 and 3, 2022. Among other things, exhibitions, installations, concerts, performances and lectures are on the program. Admission is free.

“During the Hochschultage, it is possible to take a look behind the scenes of the University of the Arts,” said Fabian Brunke, event manager and HfK alumnus. “Of course, the experiences of the past years and months have had a lasting impact on artistic creation. That’s why this year’s open house will be held under the motto ‘Zusammensein / Post-Togetherness’,” explained Brunke.

Being together—what does that actually mean? The pandemic and the tense global political situation have left their mark on society. This is naturally also reflected in artistic works. During the Hochschultage, a variety of works and projects created in times of isolation and beyond in the study programs Music, Digital Media, Fine Arts and Integrated Design will be shown in and at Speicher XI. The transit to more normality—to more togetherness—is of particular importance.

The official start of the Hochschultage will be the opening ceremony, which will take place on July 2, 2022 at 2pm. In addition to speeches and diverse artistic contributions, the university awards will be presented for outstanding achievements in the study programs.

In 2022, the Hochschultage at the HfK will take place in the summer for the first time. The entire university becomes a space of experience: exhibitions, installations, concerts, performances and lectures by HfK students, lecturers and staff invite to think, watch and participate. Every year, several thousand visitors come to the open house.

Events take place both inside and outside Speicher XI. During the Hochschultage, ateliers, studios and workshops can be visited.
