Artists in Residence
As part of the Art School Alliance, the HFBK Hamburg invites in close cooperation with international partner institutions and funding programmes Artists in Residence to the HFBK every semester.
Guest professors, guest lecturers or guest artists pursue their own artistic research at the HFBK. The aim is a lively dialogue with the students and teachers of the HFBK, which is promoted through various event formats, such as joint excursions, studio visits, artist talks, exhibitions, etc. guest professors and guest lecturers also offer their own teaching formats.
The Artists in Residence programme supports international artistic research, the development of artistic projects with diverse influences and the international art discourse with students and teachers at the HFBK. The global South is the current development focus of the Artists in Residence programme. Residencies at the HFBK Hamburg may be linked to protective residencies for artists at risk.

Duration, periods, sustainable networking
A stay in the Artists in Residence programme HFBK Hamburg usually lasts five months and is based on the semester dates. Ideally, a stay begins in October and ends in February or begins in April and ends in August. In exceptional cases, longer stays are also possible. Together with the partner organisations, the HFBK Hamburg endeavours to include the respective artists in the international network in the long term and to maintain contact accordingly. Further collaborations in the countries of origin, in Germany or at a third location are components of the Artists in Residence programme in this sense.
Accommodation and Studio
The Artists in Residence live and work in the centre of Hamburg's cultural scene between St. Pauli and the Schanzenviertel in an international community of artists. Depending on the arrangement, this can be a single flat or a shared flat. From the winter semester 2023_24, a spacious and bright studio on the 2nd floor of Karolinenstraße 2A, House 5, will be specially prepared for the stay of three Artists in Residence.
Integration and cooperation with HFBK Hamburg
The Artists in Residence will be assigned to a department in accordance with their individual artistic research and will generally attend the department’s meetings and other events during their stay. Guest professors teach their own classes, guest lecturers their own seminars
