The Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig (HGB) is an autonomous academy of art. Its independence is based on freedom in research and teaching in the fields of art and science.
As an educational institution we place great importance on the encouragement of ability, through your own methods and practices – but also those of others – being able to speak reflexively and with empathy. The academy is committed to its artistic and creative history, while also pushing ahead with the extension of its discourses and teaching practices in new fields of media. We want to further intensify the interconnection of artistic, creative and theoretical practice. We promote a reciprocal comprehension not only as part of our study courses, but also in cooperation with other institutions and disciplines outside the academy.
