This June, Hamburg’s Oberhafen will once again become a vibrant centre for digital art, fresh perspectives, and shared experiences. The VRHAM! Biennale brings together artists, creatives, and curious minds to discover, reflect on, and interact with immersive media art.
To help you plan your visit, we have compiled the most important details for each programme element below. Please note: due to limited capacity, we recommend booking early via our ticket shop.
