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.

    The home of the Poetry Slam in Hamburg.

    Schüssler Salze - Eine Einführung

    Wilhelm Heinrich Schüßler strictly distanced himself from homeopathy with his treatment method. During his lifetime, there were many disputes with homeopaths who rejected his treatment method simply because of its simplicity and spoke contemptuously of fertilizers.

    According to Schüßler, a pathogenic stimulus causes a cell to intensify its activity as it strives to reject the stimulus. This activity leads to a loss of some of its mineral functional substances. These cells are then pathologically altered, which is the essence of disease.

    Discover the 12 mineral salts according to Dr. Schüßler and their natural application for a healthy life. Many illnesses are based on imbalances in the body's mineral levels.

    • Biochemistry – the little sister of homeopathy?

    • The 12 salts

    • Areas of application

    Simplicity – The Reduction of the Moment

    The photo exhibition “Simplicity” presents a selection of graphic and minimalist black-and-white photographs by Hamburg-based photographer Svensøn. The works distill urban scenes into refined compositions shaped by light, structure and clear geometric lines. Focused on reduction and clarity, the images reveal the quiet aesthetics hidden within everyday moments. Rooted in fine art street photography, the exhibition invites viewers to experience the urban environment through a calm, distilled visual language.

    SKULPTURAL

    With "SCULPTURAL. The New Galleries," the Hamburger Kunsthalle presents its sculpture collection for the first time in a comprehensive exhibition spanning media and eras: A 1,500 m² exhibition space unfolds, featuring over 500 sculptures, reliefs, paintings, prints, photographs, spatial and video installations from 2,500 years of art history in surprising juxtapositions – from antiquity to the present day, from two to three dimensions, from miniature to monumental. A special focus is placed on the newly discovered treasure of the collection: the miniature sculptures – "sculptures en miniature," as the first director, Alfred Lichtwark, called them: masterpieces of coin, medal, and relief art in gold, silver, and bronze. These new discoveries encounter masterpieces of all media, such as the larger-than-life sculptures of Auguste Rodin or Aristide Maillol, ancient portraits enter into dialogue with contemporary photography, reliefs by Käthe Kollwitz with body casts from the 1960s and video works by Marina Abramović, among others.

    Special exhibition: Libenský & Brychtová – Pioneers of Modern Glass Art

    With the works of Stanislav Libenský and Jaroslava Brychtová, the Glass Museum presents two outstanding artistic personalities and pioneers of Czech glass sculpture.

    Through their innovative approach, Libenský and Brychtová established a new perception of glass as a sculptural material, which they established at the highest level with their diverse works. In 1958, they were the first artists to present molten glass sculptures at the Expo in Brussels. Since then, glass has increasingly been recognized not only as utility glass or decorative handicrafts, but as a full-fledged medium of fine art.

    Brychtová experimented early on with the melting of glass into molds and transferred Libenský's two-dimensional designs into three-dimensional form with the help of clay models. This resulted in sculptural works that redefined light, structure and materiality. Libenský and Brychtová were concerned with geometric shapes and optical effects. Light became a central design element: it penetrates the glass bodies and creates different colour intensities and spatial depth through negative modelling.

    Stanislav Libenský and Jaroslava Brychtová are among the most visionary personalities of modern glass art – pioneers who fundamentally changed the world's understanding of this medium and whose collaboration resulted in works that contributed significantly to the development of modern glass aesthetics.
