The open days at the University of the Arts Bremen
The Hochschultage provide special access to art, design, media and music.
Exhibitions, concerts, performances and lectures give you the opportunity to experience the university and its studios and workshops up close and to get to know studying at the HfK. Visitors can also look forward to the presentation of the newly awarded works of the university prize winners.
This year's theme of the Hochschultage, Point of View, focuses on the perspectives behind the exhibited works. At the same time, it invites visitors to contribute their own points of view. This creates a lively exchange that combines different perspectives.
Admission is free!

Alevtina Senik & Alina Bardavid
Kickstart your Hochschultage with an extraordinary blend of contemporary Russian and Argentinian sounds—where pulsing electronic beats, indie/pop gems, and unexpected sonic textures intertwine. Floating between genres and styles, we'll navigate the connections between distant spaces, their complex histories, and, most importantly, their shared openness to deep emotions. Contrast, connections, and open-hearted listening<3333 - 12:00–2:00 p.m.: Angrezi Art Academy Award Competition
Andrij Smirnov, Luis Janßen & Simon Lang
On February 15th, two gonzo reporters and one talk show host will take over the airwaves, hosting a live radio show filled with interviews, heated debates, and highly questionable judgments — all under the aura of the legendary George Angrezi. And most importantly, the live audience will vote to decide the winners. - 2:00–4:00 p.m.: Sonic Theories Aloud
Jerónimo Gutiérrez Balanta Vanshika Chaudhary Jaeeun Kim Gabriella Serrano de Oliveira Indrayudh Sengupta
Dr. Petra Klusmeyer (Moderator)
Sonic Theories Aloud is a project that explores sonic philosophies and sound-related art practices to engage in critical reading, listening, and writing for sound production. The outcomes take the form of short-format audio essays, examining sound-text relationships as an alternative to traditional written presentations—a novel approach to disseminating research in sound studies. In addition to showcasing these audio works in the Sound and Research-Creation Space (SnRC), the project will be discussed and presented in a broadcast on Radio Angrezi. - 4:00–5:30 p.m.: Werkstattradio

Together, they will explore the work’s meaning, inspirations, and technological intricacies, reflecting on how it reactivates our sensitivity to nature and reimagines the relationship between people, water, and technology. Join us to uncover how listening can become a way of reconnecting with the delicate balance of our environment. - 1:15–2:00 p.m.: Angrezi Archive
