The Idea

Inspired by Hamburg’s history as a harbour city, CROSSING CURRENTS | HAMBURG ART WEEK connects diverse artistic and cultural forces. This new citywide platform brings together the spaces, practices and communities that activate the city through art.



From 3–6 September, around 100 museums, galleries, experimental independent spaces and initiatives, alongside private collections and the Landesverband Hamburger Galerien, join forces across Hamburg.

Six curated Art Routes, Currents, trace distinct paths through the city, while PulseCurrent Affairs and Undercurrents extend the programme through performance, discourse and nightlife.

The Founding Edition marks the beginning of a new annual platform for contemporary art in Hamburg — one that amplifies visibility, encourages crossovers and opens new channels between the city’s cultural communities.
