M.1 Lokal: QUEER BAR
Following the huge interest in the matchmaking agency Schatz GmbH (Djoana Weimann and Josie Overton), who really got the party going at last year’s QUEER BAR finale, this year’s QUEER BAR is kicking off the new season with a speed dating special! At the season opener on 6 June 2026, all guests are invited to get to know their table neighbours in a new or different way and discover shared interests – with surprising questions, a pinch of humour and, of course, ice-cold drinks!

CSD 2026

Diversity is thriving here – Christopher Street Day is coming to Hohenlockstedt! This year, on 20 June 2026, Hohenlockstedt will host Christopher Street Day (CSD), which has been rotating through the Steinburg district for the past four years. CSD raises the profile of queer people and advocates for their rights. Together with experienced partners and people from the region, the team from the Arthur Boskamp-Stiftung is organising the CSD in Hohenlockstedt. Afterwards, there will be a QUEER BAR in the garden of the Arthur Boskamp-STiftung.

Recently at M.1: Art as Ecological Practice

A heterogenous assembly of artists, researchers, students and local actors: The seasonal curatorial programme 2025/26 combined practical experiences in agroecology with performative, political and sensory explorations of water, food and care.

Between plankton, carp, tomatoes, wild plants and queer field songs, a transversal meeting space emerged - a collective attempt to pluralise lived experiences and open up spaces for a different, shared way of living together.

The full review can be read here.

Exhibition Advancement Award 2025/26: Eda Aslan

The two exhibitions featuring the winners of the Advancement Award are open every Saturday and Sunday from 2 pm to 6 pm until 4 July! In her work Transmitting Wind, the artist Eda Aslan examines air currents as carriers of political and material history. For the exhibition at M.1, Eda Aslan is developing a spatial installation that transmits meteorological data from a distant landscape to the exhibition space in Hohenlockstedt in real time. Through data-driven control of fans, the movement of the winds becomes perceptible as a subtle physical presence – as a draught or a slight tingling on the skin.

Exhibition by the 2025/26 Advancement Award recipients: Modularküche

The two exhibitions featuring the winners of the Advancement Award 2025/2026 are open every Saturday and Sunday from 2 pm to 6 pm until 4 July! Modularküche is a collaborative project by Paula König, Liliana Escalhão and Johann König and forms part of the Advancement Award, which in 2025/26 recognised works at the intersection of art, ecology and sustainability. The exhibition explores regional foods and seasonal recipes from Central Portugal and Northern Germany through illustrations and a cookbook.
