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.

Water Pressure. Gestaltung für die Zukunft

Water – whether too much or too little, clean or unsafe – is one of the most pressing human preoccupations. Already, 40% of the world’s population is affected by water scarcity and, with human-induced climate change, this is getting much worse. “Water Pressure: Designing for the Future” – an exhibition of the MK&G and Jane Withers Studio – looks at the water crisis from a global perspective, displaying ideas and proposals that illuminate the potential for shaping a radically different future. About 75 innovative works from the fields of design, architecture, art and science – based in many cases on natural principles – open up new routes to overcoming the current situation. Conceived as an odyssey in five parts, the exhibition presents inspiring solutions to global issues such as water scarcity, flooding, pollution and disrupted hydrological cycles. A closer look is taken at the port city of Hamburg and the current and future challenges it faces, from flooding to water shortages.

Wildkräuter in der Küche und Hausapotheke

You want to explore the world of wild herbs with all your senses and want to know more about the wild greenery and especially how it is used. Then the herb course is right for you. First we go out into nature together for about an hour and then we cook or bake something together, which we of course enjoy in a relaxed atmosphere. We also make something, whether it is an ointment, making a tincture or an oxymel. While we are working together, we have time to exchange ideas about recipes, possible uses and tips and tricks for herbs and to share our experiences and anecdotes.
