Mad Mad Mad Summer Program will take place from July 23rd to 26th 2020. The weekend is dedicated to several exciting encounters of thinkers, artists and role models, curated by students of HfG Karlsruhe. Coming from different practices and backgrounds, each of the guests raises topical questions relevant to the context of the HfG.

Mad Mad Mad Summer Program is not just a fictive festival for people who are sometimes living and sometimes dead. (everything is real). The program also aims to give a stage to people who are underrepresented in art, pop culture and politics.
