The heimaten project aims to reinterpret the concept of home in light of the real pluralistic composition of German society and is launching a four-year programme across Germany.


The project was conceived by the HKW and co-curators Ibou Diop and Max Czollek and is supported by a network of civil society initiatives and cultural institutions in the sixteen German federal states as well as in Austria and Switzerland.


heimaten means recognising the realities of a pluralistic society, critically questioning them and actively shaping them.



Discussion series Heimatization


The discussion series Heimatization will also take place from March to December 2025, during which various ideas and practices of belonging will be discussed.

heimaten Festival

The heimaten network, an alliance of over thirty cultural institutions and civil society initiatives, is organising the decentralised heimaten festival in September 2025, with numerous events in all German federal states as well as in Austria and Switzerland.
