HGB Diplomrundgang & Sommerfest

From July 17 to 19, the HGB invites you to its graduation exhibition tour. Visitors can look forward to exhibitions throughout the academy building. There will be more graduation projects on display than ever before: around 90 graduates from the fields of painting/graphic arts, photography, book arts/graphic design, and media art will present exhibitions in 20 rooms, organized by the graduating students in collaboration with Ilse Lafer (curator). On opening day, the HGB will also celebrate its traditional summer festival, which this year is being organized by students from the System Design class.

Free admission; everyone is cordially invited!
