With “Hot Takes! Kunsthalle Bielefeld x Debattierclub Bielefeld” is an event organized by the Kunsthalle Bielefeld in collaboration with the Debattierclub Bielefeld, inviting participants to take a closer look at controversial perspectives on art. The starting point is a series of provocative theses on the subject of art that regularly spark public debate. You often hear statements like “Anyone can make art” or “Art must be political,” but people rarely delve deeper into these controversial claims. In short debates, members of the Bielefeld Debate Club present and discuss arguments from different perspectives. In doing so, the debaters deliberately take positions that do not necessarily reflect their own views, in keeping with a culture of open debate. Who presents a convincing argument? That’s up to the audience. It’s not about finding definitive answers, but about learning about different perspectives and questioning your own views.

The event is open to anyone interested. “Hot Takes!” offers the opportunity to view the current exhibition from new perspectives and to experience art as a starting point for social dialogue.

The event was developed in collaboration with the Department of Art History at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, led by Prof. Dr. Timo Skrandies, and is being organized in collaboration with the Bielefeld Debate Club.

Bring along well-preserved clothes that you no longer wear, and discover new favorites among the treasures others have brought. Instead of buying new things, we swap what we already have—it’s sustainable, creative, and community-oriented. In conjunction with our current exhibition, which explores the theme of “sharing” in its various facets, we invite you to a clothing swap party.

Do your clothes show signs of wear or need to be altered?
No problem—in collaboration with Transition Town Bielefeld’s Repair Café, they can be repaired right away, either before or after the swap—giving your new favorite items a new lease on life.

The new find has potential, but it’s still missing that certain something?
There will also be an upcycling station where you can add a personal touch to the clothes you’ve just swapped through creative alterations or custom embellishments.

Whether it’s for swapping, repairing, crafting, or just browsing and chatting. Come by and see how sharing leads to new connections.

The event is part of the cooperation project “Building Bridges – Creative and Sustainable”. This is a joint project of the Bildungsstätte Einschlingen, the IBZ Friedenshaus e.V. and the Kunsthalle Bielefeld. The aim of the project is to bring people from different backgrounds together through shared interests. The project aims to help people come into contact with each other beyond their usual social groups.
