Hamburg-based musician Hannah Grosch focuses on hand-played, homemade and finely felt. On her new album "BODYPARTS", she breaks with classic song structure in a convinced avant-garde-alternative manner, focusing on playful and versatile vocals and deciding anew from song to song which instrumentation should accompany the voice in a warm and soft-groovy way.

Everything is allowed to be brittle, creaky, in tortured lightness, always in favor of emotion and dynamics. With "BODYPARTS", Hannah Grosch combines a whole range of different influences and moves in the space between PJ Harvey, Björk, Joanna Newsom and Fever Ray. As a FLINTA* trio with Niko (Junokill) and Stina, Grosch manages to translate the songs, recorded entirely solo, into a polyphonic band experience. Raw, touching, intense.

Übersee is a Hamburg band whose music always echoes a sense of longing. For the beautiful south, which perhaps no longer exists, for the mountains and the sea, places where nothing distracts you but the stars.

Wosto was born in 1980 in Geseke (a small town in "Wostfalia"). As he would call himself an animal lover, he released all of the animals from Geseke in 1995 and rode a donkey through his hometown. The police came and arrested Wosto and his animal gang into a seperate district, where he still lives with them and plays records for them. To this day, many visitors come to see him playing and dancing and feed him with new music by throwing the records over the fence. It is said that there is a secret tunnel, so Wosto can escape from time to time and play some secret gigs outside.

In 2013 Wosto and his best friend Kluentah founded FALLBEIL. So far they released many records on different labels all over the world. In 2017 Wosto and the two members of NOSTALGIE ÉTERNELLE started the trio SAUERSTOFFF. Wosto is also releasing solo records and is running his own vinyl label - TEERPAPPE

Ben Nurgenç invites you to a performative workshop to explore the local ecology. Mushrooms, lichens, plants and everything that crawls out of concrete cracks will be put under the microscope. Ben introduces interested parties to the artistic exploration of living creatures and their habitats.

Interactive evaluation of the Citizen Sensing Workshops on particulate matter measurement!

At 17:15, we will interactively evaluate the results of the citizen sensing workshops on air quality in Hamburg. We will explain the findings based on the teams' noted observations, discuss the differences between measured and modeled values and question what this means for the prediction of air quality and citizen sensing practices. Individual topics can then be explored in more depth at the hands-on stand in conversation with the scientists.

HSBK Long Table of Building Culture

We roll out the tablecloth and discuss the topic of #City design in climate change. For the discussion at the long table, different and perhaps unusual positions will be presented in turn and then discussed over small delicacies. Ideas and thoughts can be noted directly on the tablecloth, sketches and suggestions are welcome. You are welcome to come along!

PARKS with the opening of the season

PARKS is made by many. Since the beginning, the project has been supported by a large and changing group of neighbors, actors from all over the city and local workers, without whom such a project would not be possible. They - as well as many other volunteers and unpaid supporters, associates and friends - help with the practical implementation and ongoing reflection. Instead of the usual collaboration with planners or architects, the project is conceived and managed by culturally active people who, although locally based, are networked far beyond this spatial context. Starting from the initiating Hallo: e.V., a project team was formed, which was expanded by the landscape architecture firm atelier le balto. All participants contribute their networks, experience and ideas to the process.

PARKS is therefore not only a project, but above all a process. A programmatic push in a new direction - a joint negotiation of what public space can be, a new perspective on thinking, planning, designing and using public green spaces and thus creating new practices of collaborative planning and cooperative urban space design.

Hamburg's gardens, alliance for urban gardening

The Hamburg Gardens Network is an alliance of local urban gardening projects and community gardens. More and more people are becoming actively involved in Hamburg's gardening projects. Gardening and, in some cases, cooking together creates a sense of identity for the districts and neighborhoods. Open spaces and wasteland are planted and cared for by the community, creating local added value. In addition, green learning spaces and areas for experiencing nature are created for both children and adults.

CultureEnergyBunkerAltonaProject

The KulturEnergieBunkerAltonaProjekt, or KEBAP for short, aims to create spaces for culture and generate decentralized energy in the high-rise bunker in Schomburgstraße in Hamburg-Altona. KEBAP brings the future of heat supply to the district: low CO2, decentralized and organized as a cooperative. In addition, KEBAP opens up urgently needed open spaces for neighbourly exchange and community-organized culture. The bunker is intended to be a garden, living room, kitchen, climate-friendly boiler house and experimental workshop for the district.

Biodiversity on the central reservation

We usually walk past them carelessly, the plants of the pavement cracks, roadsides and central reservations. A pity, really. Because in the planned, sealed and gardened landscape of city centers, they are the only survivors of spontaneous urban nature. My little talk is dedicated to them.

Dr. Hans-Helmut Poppendieck, Honorary Chairman of the Botanical Society of Hamburg e.V.

Blue-green infrastructures for climate-resilient cities

As a result of climate change, heavy rainfall events and periods of drought are steadily increasing. However, our cities are not prepared for this: They are highly compacted and largely sealed. As a result, rainwater cannot seep away and flows into the sewage system, which is not designed for heavy rainfall. The result is flooding and flooded cellars. Sealing also contributes to the warming of cities.

Urban planning that addresses the challenges of climate change must therefore pay more attention to green infrastructure in the form of green spaces, connected green corridors, green roofs and building facades. Blue infrastructure such as infiltration and evaporation areas, retention areas, drainage channels and cisterns for irrigation in dry weather must also be included in the planning.

If this is successful, it is referred to as a sponge city, which can absorb and store water. In addition, the green and water areas provide shade and evaporative cooling, which can significantly reduce temperatures in cities during hot spells.

Prof. Antje Stokman, Hafencity University

Conclusion Urban nature and building culture

Current discussions about sustainable planning and building focus strongly on technical feasibility and its economic consequences - the Hamburg Foundation for Building Culture (HSBK) is broadening the discourse and placing design at the center.

Urban spaces have a lot to do and some areas already offer underground space for additional uses, such as district heating lines under the streets or underground car parks under courtyards. Rainwater is an important resource in view of the strong warming. Disposing of it in the sewage system as "waste water" is not a good solution. To allow it to seep into the ground, unsealed surfaces are needed, which are rare in cities.

Therefore, in order to use water efficiently, places are being sought where it can be temporarily collected or slowly seep away. The city would function like a sponge and water could be used in a more targeted manner.

In addition to the so-called "blue infrastructure", a lot of "green" is still needed - more plants, more trees! They can grow on roofs and facades, protect against overheating and supply urban fauna.

More and more people are seeking recreation in Hamburg's urban parks and nature reserves. At the same time, however, urban greenery is also an important habitat for plants and animals. NATÜRLICH HAMBURG! starts right there and shows that the city and nature do not have to be opposites. The aim is to inspire people to design their local green spaces in a way that is close to nature. This requires a new perspective on urban nature and respectful cooperation. The project began implementing the measures in 2023: Wildflower meadows will be created and ecologically maintained, nature experience areas will be created and habitats for native flora and fauna will be created in our parks.

With NATÜRLICH HAMBURG!, the Hanseatic city is acting as a role model for more biodiversity, natural green spaces and nature experiences in Germany's major cities.

Our goals at a glance:

• Promoting biodiversity
• Creating nature experiences
• Combining park design and biodiversity
• Strengthen dialog
• To anchor the goals of the project in Hamburg in the long term.

Schrott bewahre is a non-profit association with the aim of establishing a materials initiative in Hamburg and promoting the local circular economy.

After events such as trade fairs, after large events, when buildings are demolished or after the end of complex productions, valuable materials often simply end up in the trash. Often only because there are no structures in place to reuse these materials. This waste of precious resources is absurd, especially given the current enormous demand for inexpensive materials. Artists, children's theaters, social institutions, students, cultural workers and other creative minds urgently need these resources for their projects. Event organizers, production companies and small businesses are also increasingly interested in sustainable materials.

In order to stop waste and conserve resources, we want to create a place where materials can be collected, passed on and information provided on the topics of sustainability, the circular economy and recycling.

Solawi-Vierlande is a non-profit association for ecological, solidarity-based and regional vegetable supply and environmental education. It is financed by membership fees from the currently 250 households in Hamburg; the members share the harvest, risk and responsibility. The market garden is run by 4 employed gardeners; the depots, member administration, logistics and IT are self-organized and run on a voluntary basis.

We enable solidarity among members: once a year, the bidding round takes place, which enables a balance between financially better and worse off members. There are currently still free harvest shares for the current season!
