Event

Unkl Sigman opens the last Saturday. Is that a southern sumo wrestler? Or a transport ship? NO! A Turkish-born rapper from Ulm who aims to bring his city to life. Accompanied by banging but also melodious boom bap beats, he turns his actually monotonous everyday life into a greasy spectacle. He mixes a pinch of self-irony with classic rap craftsmanship and wins over the crowd.

Finally, Chabezo raps about what he can't solve himself. About privileges he enjoys. About the world out there that can't be turned off. About the struggle with himself that never quite ends. Sometimes with a wink, sometimes with a gaping wound - but never with ready answers. His lyrics seek the sweet spot between punchline and confession, between political correctness and what you really think. Not a moralizer. Not a redneck. Someone who catches himself contradicting and makes music out of it.

Open Tower 2.0 - art, creativity and exchange
This year, the Kehlturm is once again part of the festival: the open cultural space for creative projects is entering its second round in the Open Tower format. Following the successful first test phase, the concept will be further developed this year and this time will even be brought to life over a longer period of time.
Visitors can expect a diverse mix of interactive installations, exhibitions, open studios, Ulm craftsmanship and scientific formats. Some projects specifically invite active participation - from collaborative design to experimental formats at the interface of art, culture, technology, science and society.
The tower thus becomes a lively place for exchange and encounters that constantly opens up new perspectives. Those who make it to the top are rewarded with a roof terrace with a rooftop bar and a wonderful view over the whole of Ulm.

All information about the program, the gastronomic offer and the Open Tower rooms can be found at www.die-wilhelmsburg.de

Opening hours:
Thursday: 17:00-23:00
Friday + Saturday: 17:00-24:00
