On view until June 21: Don’t miss the chance to experience the exhibition of this year’s Finkenwerder Art Prize awardee Otobong Nkanga and Leyla Yenirce, recipient of the Finkenwerder Encouragement Prize of HFBK Hamburg.

Through her installations, tapestries, photographs, and videos, Otobong Nkanga creates a space for reflection on landscapes, memories, individual consumption patterns, and the shifting of power structures during and after the colonization of the African continent. In the exhibition at ICAT, Leyla Yenirce presents a single large-scale video and sound installation which confronts us with the difficult question: How can one resist military and media dominance and defend freedom? The women Leyla Yenirce depicts here have made their decision. It is immediately apparent that this is a difficult one, with all its implications.

Join us tomorrow, Friday, June 5, at 6 p.m. for an Artist Talk with Leyla Yenirce in conversation with Yalda Afsah and gain deeper insight into her practice and the work presented in the exhibition.

Assuming that seeing is an active act, Pythagoras described the eye as sending out “visual rays” that scan reality. „Introducing: The Crumb“ by Philine Mayr brings this idea into a contemporary context, exploring seeing as both a way of understanding the world and a way of creating it.

Mayr’s works investigate how images are formed, how light shapes visibility and space, and how perspective can emerge from within the viewer rather than from the outside world. Through painting, photography, and fragmented image surfaces, the exhibition reflects on projection, illusion, and the relationship between analogue and digital image-making.

At the centre of the Mayr’s exhibition, which is still on view at HFBK boutique until May 25, the central artwork „The Crumb“ appears as the projection of an inner image. The canvas becomes a permeable surface through which the image continues across the walls in distorted, shifted, and fragmented perspectives.

HFBK Hamburg at the Venice Biennale ✨

On May 9, the 61st Venice Biennale finally opens — and six artistic positions connected to HFBK Hamburg will be represented across the German Pavilion, the main exhibition, international pavilions and exhibitions throughout Venice.

The German Pavilion presents new works by Henrike Naumann, who had been appointed Professor of Sculpture at HFBK Hamburg and was due to begin teaching in October 2026, and by HFBK alumna and former visiting professor Sung Tieu.

At the Arsenale, Kader Attia, Professor of Time-based Media, is featured in the main exhibition. Jenna Sutela, future professor within the BlueMat Cluster of Excellence, presents work in the Finnish Pavilion. Yalda Afsah, Professor for Introduction to Artistic Work (Time-based Media), shows her exhibition “Still in the Dark” at Palazzo Ca’ Buccari. Simon Denny, Professor of Time-based Media, participates in the group exhibition “Strange Rules” at Palazzo Diedo.

Together, these artistic positions reflect the international and research-oriented profile of HFBK Hamburg. Their works address questions of memory culture, migration, colonial histories, technology, language, perception, and power relations.
Hamburg Senator for Science Maryam Blumenthal and HFBK President Martin Köttering attend the pre-opening in Venice.

The City of Hamburg, together with foundations and nonprofit partners, is supporting the realization of the German Pavilion and the participating artistic projects with substantial funding.

Music connects—people, stories, and sensory experiences. It has long been intertwined with the visual arts, whether through modes of presentation, compositional structures, or acoustic references. Bringing together artists associated with HFBK Hamburg, this exhibition explores the visual translation of music, its transformation into images, and its influence on form and relational structures.

Join us on April 30, 4 p.m. for the artistic takeover by Stage Design and Multimedia Composition students!

Participating artists: Siri Hammarén, Tintin Patrone, Jorinde Voigt, Ronja Zschoche, students from the Stage Design class (HFBK) and the Multimedia Composition class (HfMT)
Curated by Anne Meerpohl

Can writing be taught and/or learned? What defines creative writing?

The symposium “Writing in the Future” explored what writing as an artistic practice means today—beyond the realistic novel and the established literary scene. In five panels, authors, artists, and publishers discussed artistic writing, institutional frameworks, questions of form, content and resistance, and the use of new technologies such as AI.

To listen to some of the panels in our media library and to read the symposium report, click the link in our bio.

Professors of Digitale Grafik Christoph Knoth and Konrad Renner, in collaboration with Lukas Siemoneit, have comprehensively redesigned and restructured the HFBK Hamburg website. The result is a digital presence that is both clear and distinctive, presenting HFBK Hamburg in a unique and compelling way.

At its core are three main sections—Discourse, Study, and Calendar—each defined by its own visual language. Together, they support focused reading, intuitive navigation, and a more exploratory, visually guided experience.

The website positions itself as a “living catalogue”: a space that brings together current debates, events, and perspectives while also providing long-term orientation. In doing so, it serves as both a reliable reference and a thoughtfully designed environment that shapes the university’s profile internally and externally.

For more insights, check out the interview with Christoph Knoth, Konrad Renner and Lukas Siemoneit in German language. Link in our bio.

Badrieh Wanli ist zu Gast in der zehnten Folge von Life After Art School. Nach einer Ausbildung zur Schauspielerin an der Freien Schauspielschule Hamburg studierte sie Freie Kunst an der HFBK. Sie erweiterte ihr Studium im Laufe der Zeit um das Lehramt für Gymnasien und arbeitet heute als Lehrerin für Kunst und Deutsch in Hamburg Altona.
Als Mutter zweier Kinder beschäftigt sie sich in ihrer künstlerischen Praxis mit Fragen der Vereinbarkeit von Weiblichkeit, Sichtbarkeit und Verantwortung.

Anne und Cornelius sprechen mit Badrieh darüber, warum die Arbeitswelt der Kunst so schnell in den Hintergrund rückt, sobald elterliche Care-Work den Alltag bestimmt. Wo und wie müssten wir als Gesellschaft die Strukturen der Arbeit so verändern, dass künstlerische Praxis und Elternschaft sich nicht im Wege stehen? Welche Verantwortung trägt man dafür individuell und welche liegt bei Institutionen wie Hochschulen und Kultureinrichtungen?

Warum Schulen entscheidende Orte für diese Fragen sein können und welche Lehrer*innen Badrieh, Anne und Cornelius in ihrer eigenen Schulzeit entscheidende Impulse mitgegeben haben, hört ihr in dieser Folge.

“Life After Art School” ist ein Podcast der Hamburg Open Online University in Kooperation der Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg und der Hochschule für Bildende Künste Hamburg.
