It’s that time again: At the end of the summer semester, many art and design universities are once again inviting visitors to tours and annual exhibitions. In Stuttgart, people are relieved to say what it’s all about after the cancellations, postponements and digital compromises caused by the pandemic: the comebacks of the year. Within their framework and in compliance with the currently valid Corona protection measures, students of the artistic and design fields show what they have created. The always lively presentations, often combined with a summer party, are a good opportunity to find out in a relaxed atmosphere on site at the universities what ideas, topics and issues have been driving and working on the budding designers and artists in recent months.
Here is a selection of the most important dates:
