An open house for art, language, and francophone encounters

On Saturday, September 26, 2026, the Centre Culturel Franco-Allemand Karlsruhe invites you to the Open House Day. From 3 PM to 7 PM, the CCFA opens its doors as a vibrant place for contemporary art, cultural education, literature, and German-French exchange. Admission is free.

Diversity as a cultural program

The event makes the richness of CCFA immediately tangible. Workshops, activities for children, and insights into the new releases of the French-speaking Rentrée littéraire combine aesthetic experience with intercultural education. The media library serves as a resonance space for current literature and francophone perspectives.

Exhibition opening with Lea Gocht

A special highlight is the opening of the exhibition by Lea Gocht in the evening at 7 PM. The presentation is listed in the official event calendar as Inhale the future ... exhale the past; the rough text refers to it as Broken Windows. At its center is an artistic engagement that relates presence and memory, gaze and perception. The exhibition is part of the Retour de Paris series and will be on display until October 31, 2026.

Illustration as immediate encounter

The illustrator Cécile Jeanson is announced as a guest. She will create portraits on site and make the creative process directly experienceable. The reflection on the work becomes a personal encounter with line, expression, and materiality. This closeness between the audience and the artists shapes the unique exhibition atmosphere of the afternoon.

A center of German-French culture

In the heart of Karlsruhe, the Foundation Centre Culturel Franco-Allemand sees itself as a platform for contemporary, artistic, and social issues. In addition to exhibitions and literary events, language courses, yoga, a literature club, cinema and discussion evenings, as well as a German-French choir are part of the cultural offerings. The CCFA thus connects art education, encounters, and European contemporary culture.

Conclusion: An artistic experience with an open horizon

The Open House Day offers families, literature enthusiasts, and art lovers an accessible entry to the work of the CCFA. Workshops, children's offerings, literary discoveries, illustration, and the exhibition opening by Lea Gocht condense into a versatile artistic experience. Anyone wishing to experience francophone culture in Karlsruhe directly should not miss this open and inspiring afternoon.
