Word art on Hamburg's stages.

Experience culture. Poetry Slam in Hamburg

Hamburg stands for art and culture through and through. And over the years, poetry slams have gained a firm place in Hamburg's cultural programme. Those who want to see young lyrical talents have the opportunity to do so in Hamburg almost every week. The young poet scene meets here regularly on stage to compete and inspire the audience. And with the "artistic duels", the city even has its own unofficial championship. Here, you'll find an overview of current events and the most frequent venues.

    Sinnesstreifzug mit Glühwein/ Apfelpunsch durch Speicherstadt und Hafencity

    Even in the cold season, it's time to sharpen your senses! On our special winter city tour, the Winter Sensory Tour through Hamburg's Speicherstadt and Hafencity, you'll experience the historic yet modern Hamburg up close.

    What does the harbor smell like? Can you taste Hamburg? Who or what are Quiddjes? What's the deal with the pepper sacks? We begin our tour in the historic part of the harbor, the UNESCO World Heritage Site Speicherstadt. Here, we take a look at old brick warehouses and are enchanted by a quaint courtyard.
    We will take you back to Hamburg of days long gone with small and surprising touch, smell and taste experiences.

    We take these sensory impressions with us on our journey to the modern HafenCity – a contrast beyond compare. Here we see how a former port area has gradually developed into an urban living space and will continue to develop.

    In addition to interesting facts about Hamburg's history and present, it is above all your imagination that will receive one or two impulses on our sensory tour - so that you don't just look at Hamburg from the outside, but experience it with your skin and hair.

    And to warm your heart even in winter, we invite you to a delicious mulled wine or apple punch at the end of our tour in our Rosinenfischer Kontor in the Speicherstadt.

    Slam What...!?

    Slam What...!?

    Einlass: 19:00 | Beginn: 20:00

     

    Zwischen Elbphilharmonie und Elbbrücken, im Herzen der Hafencity wird ab sofort geschrien, gesprochen, geflüstert und gespuckt, gereimt und gefloskelt, umschrieben und beschönigt, gerappt – und vor allem wird geslammt! Denn dort wo sich Nobelwohnung, Touristenattraktionen und der teuerste Schanzenbäcker der Stadt neben hippen Bowl-Restaurants die Hand geben, dort braucht es auch ein wenig subkulturellen Verve, ein wenig gesprochener Krawall, etwas Extravaganza im Wortgewand. Und da bietet sich ein Poetry Slam in der feinsten Absteige des Viertels natürlich an!

    Wir legen zwei Stunden obendrauf und gönnen uns eine Spoken Word Veranstaltung sondergleichen. Denn bei „Slam What…?!“ geht es weder um Zeit noch Raum, sondern um die schönsten Geschichten, die krassesten Gedichte, die nicesten Reime und die knallendsten Pointen!

    Ganz klassisch vom Format mit einer Jury aus dem Publikum und mit Moderator David Friedrich der ein wenig frischen Wind in die Luftkorridore der Hafencity bringt. Mit vier fantastischen Slammer*innen gestaltet er einen mitreissenden Abend mit Elbrauschen im Hintergrund und einer Nuance Salz sowohl in der Luft als auch auf den Lippen.

    SLIC Unit presents: Savsannah (E.P.I.Q.) Sedaction (E.P.I.Q.) Slimgirl fat, yung_womb

    SLIC Unit are back at Golden Pudel, this time they have invited two of Cologne's most exciting selectors: Savsannah (E.P.I.Q.) & Sedaction (E.P.I.Q./Club Heart Broken)! Between 2-step kick drums, wobbly basslines, and chopped-up vocal samples, Savsannah's sets create a world filled where cheerful pop elements, summer euphoria, and dark emotions exist in the same realm. Whether she's with her angel DJ besties of E.P.I.Q., her record label Safe Space Records, or on her dublab DE radio show “This Must Be The Place” - the focus of her creative expression is about meaningful connections, a sense of belonging, and a desire for discovery. Sedaction is a DJ and visual artist based in Cologne, with roots in westasian area she aims to open minds by connecting stylistically versatile genres into an unique soundscape. A household name within the Cologne scene, Sedaction‘s commitment in sound lies in the non-commitment: stylistically and intercontinentally diverse, her sets are characterized by an energy that radiates exhilaration. When Club Heart Broken becomes acronymous for Celestial Holistic Bliss, you know you’ve fully immersed in Sedaction‘s soundscapes, all you have to do is tune in and drop out. The two will be joined on stage by SLIC's very own Slimgirl fat & yung_womb.
