Festival for children and young people

2PM - 4PM

WORLDS OF WORDS
Reading by Teens for Children

From mild winters and two little creatures that can overcome any big problem together, to adventures and saving the seas – three teenagers from Hamburg passionately read excerpts from the book of their choice.
To all the children out there, come by, get cozy, and listen to the words from the favorite books of these four teens, some of which are even self-written!

Lina, Vanessa, Paula, and Leticia are graduates of the Your Turn Program by Common Purpose. The program brings together young people from different schools and neighborhoods, inspiring each other and becoming young changemakers. Along with other decision-makers, they develop ideas for their city. They are encouraged to take responsibility and discover themselves as active and important parts of society. Because the world cannot be changed alone!

The art and research festival “KLIMASTRÖME – The Festival of Future Wishes” moves into the SCHOOL OF SURVIVAL from August 20th to 25th!

The festival program is created by children and young people for young people, taking their wishes and fears about their future seriously. Their visions about city and water, climate, and nature conservation are presented by them in artistic formats (sound, performance, visual arts, and games). From 10 am to 6 pm, there will be an interactive exhibition featuring artist talks, games, sound, and performances to see, hear, and experience.

In the auditorium of the Deichtollen, you'll find the spatial and interactive installation “frei•schwimmen” (free•swimming). It makes a world full of future wishes, dreams, and concerns of children physically, visually, and auditorily tangible. The game is designed and conceptualized by studio playces in collaboration with children from Hamburg.

Kajan Luc, diversity and communication designer, focuses on anti-discriminatory, anti-racist, and anti-colonial design. Through participatory interventions in public spaces, speculative tools, and experimental seminars, she raises awareness of societal and social issues of our time: racism, climate crisis, and climate (in)justice. As an artistic director, artist, and curator, she realizes award-winning exhibition projects at MARKK, Kampnagel, Museum der Arbeit, Jupiter, and the art festivals KLIMASTRÖME and IMAGINE Hamburg.

Caio Jacques is a cultural scientist, event manager, and artist from Hamburg who feels increasingly comfortable by the water during his career. Whether as production manager for KLIMASTRÖME – The Festival of Future Wishes, production assistant for the Climate Art Fest, or event manager for the Triennial of Photography, his projects always seek proximity to water and the port. Jacques looks beyond the familiar pool and brings his ideas to swim.

Skadi Sarnoch, a social and cultural anthropologist and passionate ceramist, worked as a project coordinator/curator at MARKK, combines her work with sustainable and culturally diverse content. As a project coordinator and water expert at KLIMASTRÖME - Festival of Future Wishes, she brings fresh ideas from the water to the festival.

The Hamburg-based design collective studio playces designs interactive spaces, redefining play and space. It opens up critical, societal utopias and provides tools to create a more socially just world.
