About
Futur3. - Art and Discourse Weeks
July 11 – 31, 2025
Keep up with the latest @futur.drei
Since its founding in 2017 by Netzwerk für revolutionäre Ungeduld [Network for Revolutionary Impatience], Futur3. has become an integral part of Kiel’s art and cultural scene. Through close collaboration with cultural practitioners and growing partnerships with independent initiatives and established city institutions, Futur3. creates a diverse, broad and accessible cultural offering and landscape.
With a thematic focus that evolves through changing curations, the program spans various formats: art exhibitions, discursive events, theater, art and music performances, artistic interventions in institutional or public spaces, and workshops.
Since its redesign in 2025, Futur3. has placed a stronger focus on the principles of Community, Common, and Care, standing for a democratic, open, and pluralistic society. Serving as a bridge between art and the city community, the Futur3.Program creates open spaces for art and discourse, supports young artists, and actively works to promote their interests while strengthening the independent cultural scene in Kiel.
»The Strength of Weak Ties«
This year’s focus »The Strength of Weak Ties« was developed in response to global crises and ongoing processes of societal transformation. It explores the social and cultural consequences of political upheavals and examines the role of both individual and collective resilience. Our curatorial approach brings together queer-feminist and anti-capitalist perspectives on self-care with the sociological idea that it is precisely loose social connections (“weak ties”) that can significantly contribute to the stability and diversity of a society.

Von Dannen crafts a sonic tapestry that unfolds between breakbeat, house, sound collage, and ambient. Organic and synthetic textures, ethereal and energetic moods, narrative and abstract elements are intricately woven together; the authorship, age, and origin of the sounds are blurred and recontextualized. All of this serves to create an atmosphere that invites both contemplation and exhilaration in equal measure.

Nach dem Studium an der Muthesius Kunsthochschule Kiel und der Hochschule Düsseldorf stellen neben der Tätigkeit im Kulturbetrieb freie Musik - und Soundproduktionen einen aktuellen Schwerpunkt dar.

Alongside two art history students, you’ll engage with the artists’ works and become part of an open exchange. These walks are free, require no registration, and invite everyone to experience art through collaborative discovery. Share your thoughts, challenge assumptions, and connect with others as we unpack themes of belonging, resilience, and community.

Monday, July 21, 2025, 6:00 pm
Meeting point: Platz der Kieler Matrosen (Raiffeisenstraße 2, 24103 Kiel)
Designers Anna Ulmer and Irini Schwab take a closer look at strategies of displacement and discuss solidary alternatives for collaborative city-making. Equipped with the classic tools of city tours and a “Defensive Architecture Bingo,” the walk leads to contested sites in Kiel. Insights into the designers’ years of collaborative work at Hamburg’s Hansaplatz open up new perspectives: How can participation and visibility be shaped in public space – especially in places where exclusion is spatially inscribed?

»Makgeolli Bar: A Test of Trust«
Mik Nim
Duration: 19.07. – 31.07.2025
Open: Wed. - Sun, 4 - 8 p.m.
The new format F3.Fields aims to create temporary spaces where social, cultural and democratic aspects take centre stage. The goal is to offer accessible places that provide a counterbalance to the academic art world and benefit the people of Kiel. The focus lies on exchange and networking as a driving force for social cohesion and participation – rather than presenting art as something isolated or exclusive. The invited artists are tasked with designing a space that serves a real, practical purpose and is understandable without any prior knowledge of art. The core of this artistic practice is to create an open, participatory space with an accompanying programme. This year, South Korean artist Mik Nim, based in Berlin, has been invited to realise the project entitled »Makgeolli Bar: A Test of Trust.«

F3.Fields - Workshop Series
Free of charge | registration via mail: miknimartwork@gmail.com | max. 5 people |
Location: studio hoop, Wilhelminenstraße 13, Kiel
The workshop will be conducted by the artist and consists of three parts that build on each other. Participation in all three dates is recommended.
Part 1: Sunday, July 20, 2025, 3:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Part 2: Saturday, July 26, 2025, 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Part 3: Thursday, July 31, 2025, 6:00 PM
⁎
Part 1: »Brewing Makgeolli«
Sunday, July 20, 2025, 3:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Together, we will make traditional Korean rice wine. The brewing process is experienced as a collective act of trust and transformation. In doing so, participants immerse themselves in a new cultural practice and experience it through their own hands.
Part 2: »Filtering, Cooking, Telling Stories. Building trust, one meal at a time.«
Saturday, July 26, 2025, 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM
While cooking and tasting together, recipes, rituals, and personal stories come together. There will be an exchange about faith, doubt, and belonging over food and drink.
Teil 3: »End of Futur3. and Workshop Series«
Thursday, July 31, 2025, 6:00 PM
We celebrate the conclusion of the workshop series with the homemade Makgeolli—as a drink, a gesture, and a starting point for conversation. To finish, we will prepare Bibimbap together, sharing a meal as a moment of trust.

F3.Exhibition
»The Strength of Weak Ties«
Franca Behrmann, Alime Ertürk, Laura Nan, Max Prange, Aura Roig, Xiaoyi Zhang
Duration: 12.07. – 27.07.2025
Opening hours:
Thurs. / Fri. 3:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Sat. / Sun. 12:00 pm – 6:00 pm
Closed Mon-Wed!
The theme of this year’s Art and Discourse Weeks has been developed in response to current societal and cultural transformations in our globally interconnected world. At its heart are questions about the consequences political upheaval and social ruptures have on the dynamics between individuals, communities and society at large. The starting point is a curatorial concept grounded in the sociological observation that even weak social ties can open up new resources and perspectives for individuals, thereby contributing to the stability and diversity of communities. The group exhibition The Strength of Weak Ties offers an artistic approach to this inquiry. Six emerging artists from Germany and Switzerland explore the complex facets of human relationships through a range of media, artistic techniques, and narrative strategies. Between ideals and reality, Franca Behrmann, Alime Ertürk, Laura Nan, Max Prange, Aura Roig and Xiaoyi Zhang each bring their personal perspectives into play.

However, the works on display do not simply dwell on personal experience. Instead, they open up a deeper understanding of collective processes and social connections. They generate momentum, revealing how it is precisely the fragile that can give rise to the kind of resistant strength needed to confront societal challenges. From familial archives in the work of Alime Ertürk to the collective scream in Xiaoyi Zhang’s paintings, the featured works explore in different ways how fractures can give rise to new connections. These approaches also run through Franca Behrmann’s engagement with her family history, Laura Nan’s endless sleepover, Max Prange’s voices of solitude, and Aura Roig’s visual concepts of radical tenderness. The exhibition invites viewers not to fear these tensions, but rather to understand them as the seed and resource of community.
