A look at the world map and the international history of HFBK Hamburg: TIAA – The International Alumni Archive is a digital platform that uncovers the stories and career paths of HFBK Hamburg’s international alumni.

In this short interview, Astrid Mania (Prof of Art Criticism and Modern Art History at HFBK) shares how the idea for this growing archive came to life and why preserving these stories matters. The archive explores the impact international students have had on the university and how their time at HFBK and in Hamburg has shaped their personal and professional journeys.

Featuring alumni portraits, interviews, biographies and essays, TIAA invites you to discover these global connections through an interactive world map, with more data and insights to come.

About the visual by ASA students Chimo Saido and Japhet Onojie : Our design acts as a frame into the countries represented at the current ASA program. The phrase ‘ASA Open Studios’ is rewritten in a selection of non-Latin scripts to reflect cultural diversity. The intertwining, morphing trees woven through stylized typography is symbolic to the ASA residence and how it fosters collaboration, growth, and cultural awareness.

In two weeks, the symposium 𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 will take place, dedicated to different ways of dealing with texts and writing practices in the art context. In the exchange between artists and authors, transitions and interferences in the writing and staging of a text become visible. In addition to the relationship between visual art and literature, five panel discussions will focus on other relationships, such as institutional, technological, and poet(ological) ones, all of which have implications for the possible futures of writing.

The symposium is open to the public, free of charge, and no registration is required.
