From 13 to 23 February 2025, Karlsruhe city centre will become the stage for the ‘25 Grad’ graduate exhibition at the Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design. Around 30 graduates will present their final theses and make their work accessible to the general public. The title ‘25 degrees’ symbolises the time of transition from graduation to professionalism.

The exhibition will open on 13 February at 5 p.m. on the ground floor of the Postgalerie Karlsruhe with a vernissage that will encourage encounters between the graduates and the public and form the starting point for a varied programme. In addition to a former shop space in the Postgalerie Karlsruhe, the exhibition space of the Badischer Kunstverein at Waldstraße 3 in the centre of Karlsruhe will also be used. The exhibition venues will be activated by a joint walk on the same evening of February 13, 2025. A varied programme of screenings, colloquia and workshops throughout the duration of the exhibition invites visitors to enter into an exchange with the artists and designers. The finissage on 23 February marks the end of the exhibition.

The exhibition once again demonstrates the interdisciplinary quality that characterises studies at the HfG Karlsruhe. The works on display reflect the close co-operation between and within different disciplines and illustrate the extent to which students not only learn from their teachers, but also from each other and inspire each other. These influences, which transcend disciplinary boundaries, are presented in an accompanying magazine that provides an in-depth insight into the exhibitors' working methods and processes.
