What happens when you just let art, conversation, performance, and provocation run their course for 24 hours? 

24HKW is a cultural format for the brave, the curious, and the nocturnal. 

For all those who want to experience art before it has been labelled, edited, or explained. 

For 24 hours, artists, thinkers, and performers perform in HKW’s Miriam Makeba Auditorium—one after the other, non-stop. Visitors book a 3-hour slot in advance, without knowing what performance they will see until they arrive.

Anything can happen: a reading, a discussion, a live podcast, a musical moment, a radical monologue, or collective silence.
