Hochschultage/open days 2025

After a temporary move to the summer, the Hochschultage (English: University Days) at the University of the Arts (HfK) Bremen are returning to their original winter schedule in 2025. On February 15–16, 2025, the HfK will open its doors at Speicher XI and Speicher XI A in Bremen’s Überseestadt district. Visitors can look forward to a vibrant weekend filled with art, design, media, and music. As always, admission is free.

Point of View: Perspectives in Focus
The theme of the Hochschultage 2025, Point of View, highlights both individual and social perspectives. Visitors are invited to explore the artistic decisions behind the works and contribute their own viewpoints to the dialogue. This theme fosters meaningful encounters and exchanges, weaving together diverse perspectives and opening up new horizons. Topics range from political and philosophical questions to aesthetic and technological explorations, showcasing the HfK as a dynamic hub where disciplines converge and innovative ideas take shape.

Explore current topics and creative processes
The Hochschultage celebrate the intersection of art, music, design, science, and social dialogue. HfK students respond to pressing contemporary issues through artistic concepts, interventions, and design projects. Their works and performances tackle themes such as sustainability, identity, digital transformation, mobility, and solidarity.

With an annual attendance of 3,000 to 6,000 visitors, the Hochschultage offer a multifaceted programme of exhibitions, concerts, performances, installations, films, and lectures. These diverse formats provide an immersive experience of the creative diversity and processes at the HfK Bremen. Open studios, workshops, and creative spaces invite visitors to explore student work environments and engage directly with emerging artists, designers, and musicians.

A highlight of the Hochschultage is the presentation of newly awarded works by HfK prize winners. These pieces exemplify exceptional artistic quality and innovative thinking, resonating far beyond the university itself.
