Season 3: "EXISTENCE"

Queer art in the heart of Hamburg: with the new Season 3: "EXISTENCE", The (___) Gallery will once again bring extraordinary exhibitions, performances and community events to the city in 2026. The Hamburg pop-up gallery has developed into one of the largest queer exhibition formats in Europe in recent years and now attracts thousands of visitors - far beyond the queer scene.

The focus is on contemporary artists who deal with topics such as identity, visibility and social participation. It's not just about traditional art exhibitions: Talks, workshops, performances and open meeting spaces turn each edition into a lively meeting place for community, exchange and new perspectives.

It starts from June 26 to July 5, 2026 at KULTUR&GUT in the Zeisehallen in Hamburg-Ottensen. For ten days, the off-space will become a place for queer contemporary art, discussions and creative formats relating to urban identity, digital visibility and queer life today.

The artists confirmed so far include:

Agatha Kosobucki (Amsterdam/Hamburg)

Arne Niehaus (Hamburg)

Daniel Torrent (Barcelona)

Giovanni Crybaby Dionisi (Milan)

Lukas Honnecker (Hamburg)

Luke Carter (Berlin/Leipzig)

Matthias Scholz (Hamburg)

Maxim Gregorek (Hamburg)

Miel de Ideas (La Rioja)

Miguel Mivo (Barcelona)

Peachy Keen (Hamburg)

Rory Midhani (Berlin)
