Anfachen Award X brings “Justice” to the Streets of Hamburg



  • Free of charge

Starting June 3, 2026, the winning posters of Anfachen Award X will be displayed across various public spaces and streets in Hamburg, reflecting the current international state of justice and injustice. In addition, a public poster campaign on opening day will spark direct and controversial exchanges between art and the public.

From June 3, 2026 onward, they will be impossible to miss: the winning posters of Hamburg’s Anfachen Award X on the theme of “Justice.” The works will be installed at locations including Kennedy Bridge, the Binnenalster, behind Hamburg Central Station, and near Reesendamm Bridge. Through their artistic diversity and large-scale presence, the 25 selected posters vividly reveal where justice is under pressure, absent, or successfully upheld. Sometimes painful, sometimes humorous, the works expose how unequal access to health, happiness, wealth, and power continues to shape societies worldwide.
