Character
Fuchsbau is not a camping festival or an open-air event in the classic sense. It is aimed at an urban audience that wants to actively engage with the programme and discourse offerings.
A Festival with a Dual Mission
The Fuchsbau Festival was founded with the ambition to explore a different festival format: less mass event, more curated experience; less stage hierarchy, more space for encounter and discourse. In doing so, it sets itself apart from large commercial events and joins an international tradition of discourse festivals like CTM in Berlin or Unsound in Krakow.
Musical Programming
The musical programming operates at the intersection of electronic avant-garde, post-conventional club music, improvisation, and new composition. Acts are selected based on aesthetic originality, programmatic ambition, and connection to current social debates. Headliner structures are deliberately avoided; all acts are presented on a similar scale.
Debates and Discourse Programme
Running parallel to the music is a debates and discourse programme featuring lectures, panels, workshops, and readings. Topics come from the areas of climate justice, post-colonial perspectives, digital culture, gender and identity, and urban development. The invited speakers are artists, scientists, activists, and cultural practitioners.
Changing Venues
The festival is spread across various venues in the city. This aims to make Hannover's cultural landscape visible on the one hand, and on the other, to extend the festival atmosphere beyond classic concert locations. Industrial sites, galleries, alternative cultural centres, and unusual urban spaces are used as venues.
