Experience literature and art in Freiburg

Fancy some literary morning exercise? The Freiburg Literature Centre regularly invites you to do so. Readings by various authors take place between 10 a.m. and 12 noon - and this is just one of many innovative formats offered by the literature centre, which was founded in 2017. In addition to traditional readings, the popular "Freileser" bicycle is out and about in the city in summer as a reading kiosk, amateurs and professionals print their own works of art in the printing workshop and Freiburg residents can write and read (aloud) in the "LitLab". What some put into words, others show in pictures and sculptures: Freiburg has a lively scene of art galleries, each with its own special focus - from Baden paintings from the first half of the 20th century to contemporary photography.

The city as an art venue

Biennale for Freiburg

BFF is not only the abbreviation for the young Freiburg platform for contemporary art, but also a message. The three letters are the code for "best friends forever" - and that is exactly what the curators of the Biennale have in mind: Freiburg and young art are best friends. The Biennale für Freiburg took place for the first time in 2021. 
The idea behind it: Artists from outside the city work together with the local creative scene to develop formats and works that are made for Freiburg. The city thus becomes an art laboratory and allows contemporary art to be experienced in places where you would not expect it. This can be experienced every two years in the summer, curated by changing experts under a different theme each time.
The third Biennale in 2025 offers a varied programme under a motto that suits Freiburg: "Happy place".
