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.

    Cocktail Prolongé: F.C. Gundlach Special

    The exhibition focuses on the diverse ways in which physicality can be staged, understanding the body as a medium for conveying different roles, projections, desires, and fantasies. The objects presented are from the FC Gundlach collection –
    Collected since the mid-1970s, these photographs are not only highly topical with regard to the new constellation of the queer community, they also offer a glimpse into an exciting, yet very intimate area of this private collection: the vulnerable, the resilient, the tamed and untamed, the patient and restless body, which is illuminated from a wide variety of perspectives and motivations by the approximately 60 participating photographers.

    Collegium Musicum Hamburg / Marina Kulow / Miguel Liakidis

    In »Between Closeness and Distance«, the audience can look forward to an evening that brings to life the tensions and connections between musical worlds – from subtle approaches to intense contrasts. Diverse musical voices engage in a lively dialogue – sometimes searching, sometimes contradictory, sometimes surprisingly harmonious. The piano opens up the space and draws you immediately into the action, while the guitar responds with fresh, sometimes unexpected impulses. The string players connect these worlds, allowing emotions to blossom and creating moments of intense closeness. A varied programme that combines romantic depth, dance-like lightness, and modern timbres – a concert experience that moves, surprises, and lingers long after the music ends.

    Cookery workshop: Recipes from around the world

    What sort of food actually ends up on people’s plates in other countries? And what dishes emerge when people cook together? The ‘Recipes from Around the World’ cookery workshop is all about cooking together and using food as an opportunity for cultural exchange. 

    Participants plan their menu together and prepare dishes from different countries – using fresh ingredients, right at the hob, and with plenty of opportunity to get involved. Whilst chopping, seasoning and cooking, conversations arise about eating habits, origins, and the differences and similarities between cultures. 

    In the process, participants discover new ingredients and flavours and gain an appreciation of just how diverse food can be across different cultures. Along the way, they pick up practical, easy-to-understand and everyday-relevant knowledge about nutrition. Food brings people together – and that is exactly what the “Recipes from Around the World” workshop is all about.

    Through the “HipHop & Health – Move, Eat, Stay Fit” project, we’ve taken on this theme and launched this ongoing workshop. A community has already formed that meets regularly for these sessions, and we’d be delighted to welcome more interested people to join us. 

    Places are limited.

    Participation is free; donations are welcome

    HipHop & Health is funded by the German TV Lottery
