Poetry Slam

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.

    Hydrotherapie und ihre Möglichkeiten

    Water treatments have been an integral part of bathing culture for millennia. The ancient Greeks already believed that water possessed healing powers. The Romans also built public baths, which developed into recreational and social centers for their cities (precursors of today's spas). The Roman honorary citizen Antonius Musa is considered the father of hydrotherapy, as he is said to have cured Emperor Augustus with cold baths in 23 BC.

    I feel it all

    The group show features works by Josef Bauer, Tim Hardy, Angelique Heidler, Martin Laborde, Luna Mahoux, Marietta Mavrokordatou, Troy Montez Mitchie, Nicolai Olesen und Jasia Rabiej, Matt Gess with Désirée Nakouzi De Monte, and Andrea Parenti of Collezione Nancy Delroi. The photographic image serves as a point of departure towards various visual pathways and artistic methods. Addressing forms such as fashion photography as well as archival materials, the assumed veracity of photography splits into layers of fantasy, where memory is indistinguishable from desire, and absence morphs into emotional proximity.

    The show is part of chess club’s programme as Project space-in-residence at the Kunstverein in Hamburg.
