Graduates’ website 2024

More than 180 graduates completed their studies at the Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg (HFBK) in 2024 in the fields of sculpture, painting/drawing, time-based media, photography, design, stage design, graphic design, film, and theory. A new website now showcases their final projects with visually compelling images and supplementary texts.

On the new online platform designed by Christoph Knoth and Konrad Renner (professors of digital graphic design), you can filter by graduate, degree type, or discipline and be inspired by the diversity of the artistic projects presented. Over the coming years, a comprehensive archive of all HFBK graduates will be created, demonstrating once again how multi-faceted and forward-thinking shared artistic diversity, openness, and transdisciplinarity can be. Enjoy browsing!

About HFBK Hamburg
The HFBK Hamburg (University of Fine Arts) is a place of artistic and scholarly engagement with the issues of the rapidly changing present. Originating from artistic practice, research processes unfold here in an atmosphere of interconnected thinking and working, experimenting with new forms, languages, and methodologies. Founded over 250 years ago as an educational institution for applied design, HFBK Hamburg is now one of the most internationally renowned art academies. With its wide range of courses, it offers opportunities for interdisciplinary artistic and academic training. Around 950 students currently work, learn, and conduct research together in studios and more than 20 workshops. The curriculum is flexible, allowing ample space for individual and collective exploration and development of artistic research processes within a diverse, international network. The internationally aligned, consecutive Bachelor’s and Master’s programs in Fine Arts follow a transdisciplinary approach to artistic development processes, not confined to traditional boundaries between applied and free arts, nor between artistic and academic disciplines. Additionally, a post-graduate qualification is offered: Dr. phil. in artibus and PhD in Art Practice. Closely connected to contemporary artistic developments, HFBK Hamburg also initiates public debates, builds networks, and promotes knowledge transfer with various communities. HFBK Hamburg’s international initiatives are consolidated in the Art School Alliance program, which forms the core of worldwide collaborations with art academies in different countries.
