Berlin Summer University of the Arts 2021

Interdisciplinary courses in Design, Communication, Music, Architecture, Fashion and many more.

This year’s Berlin Summer University of the Arts is starting with a large mixture of creative online and face-to-face workshops here, in Berlin. From July to October 2021, we invite senior students, graduates, and professionals from all artistic disciplines to participate in over 29 workshops covering creative fields such as Fine Arts, Design, Music, Performing Arts, Creative Entrepreneurship, and their intersections. 

An international team of lecturers and teachers will introduce you to the methods and discourse of contemporary art in a diverse and experimental way. They will passionately guide you through the process of developing your artistic voice and visual language, help to realize your ideas and share them with like-minded people by building a network that might be important for your future projects.

Our latest additions include courses in Design (Iron Printing in Blue – A Cyanotype Workshop), Creative Writing (Your Berlin Story – An Alternative “Creative Non-Fiction” Writing Workshop) as well as Urban Studies (Situationist City Game). 

If you’ve been wondering about the future of fashion and which materials might be used in clothing design, then the courses Shifting Perceptions: Discussing the Fashion System and Textile Surfaces – Threads of Camille 5 are going to answer those questions for you.

For those interested in interdisciplinary courses, workshops raising philosophical or technical questions such as Transitions – Drawing and Space, Drawing in the Nature Lab, Bad Design, or Body is My Instrument or Exploration of Lifelong Learning might be the right choice.

Become part of this artistic exchange, challenge your perception, transitional and communicational skills, explore your perspectives and express yourself in workshops across a wide range of disciplines at one of the biggest and multifaceted universities of the arts in Europe. 

The whole programme is available here. Registration is still open for most of the workshops.
