Rundgang 2025: KIOSK
HfG Karlsruhe Opens Its Doors
From July 24 to 27, 2025, the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design (HfG) invites the public to its annual Rundgang—the open-house exhibition showcasing student work across all departments. This year’s edition, under the theme "KIOSK", transforms the university into a vibrant space of exchange, experimentation, and artistic reflection.
Over four days, the university’s workshops, studios, and iconic Lichthöfe become exhibition spaces. Visitors are invited to explore more than 100 projects by students from Communication Design, Product Design, Media Art, Exhibition Design & Scenography, and Art Research & Media Philosophy. The works range from installations, performances, films, and texts to speculative and sustainable design concepts.
Highlights include the life-sized pavilion “The Nest”, made from regional, bio-based materials, and a mobile stage imagining a possible future shaped by climate crises and global justice—a collaboration with Theater Neumarkt and Collegium Helveticum Zürich.
The Rundgang opens on Thursday, July 24, at 7 pm, with the Award Ceremony of the Fördergesellschaft ZKM/HfG, recognizing outstanding student works. Daily public tours, film screenings, talks, and performances round out the program, organized in part by the university’s student body.
With KIOSK, HfG Karlsruhe presents itself as a lively site of artistic dialogue and interdisciplinary collaboration.
