International Wind Art in Northern Hesse

wind art landscape
bewegter wind e.V. organises wind art festivals and offers for wind art and intercultural communication.
Wind is a symbol of spirit and communication in almost all cultures of the world.

"bewegter wind" stages wind art in this multifaceted landscape. Wind art is fleeting, can always be experienced anew and remains unfinished in a fascinating way. At various locations - in front of forests, high-altitude landscapes, lakes or quarries - objects are created that make the wind visible and allow it to merge with the art.

The international wind art festival takes place as a competition every two years at changing locations in the region. "bewegter wind" is a landscape exhibition with a supporting programme, art competition, artists' meeting, cultural exchange, exhibition tour and children's programme.

The 11th wind art festival "bewegter wind" took place from 13th-27th August, 2023 in Wolfhagen. We are looking forward to the 12th wind art festival from 17th-31st of August, 2025.

The internationally announced art competition "bewegter wind" and a multi-part landscape exhibition take place every two years in Northern Hesse. Exhibitions with wind objects, installations and performances are staged at special places in nature. A varied supporting programme and encounters with artists from many countries of the world increase the appeal of this successful combination of art and nature experience.

What is the fascination of wind? Wind is global. It is multifaceted and intangible. In "moving wind" the shapelessness of the wind meets the creative power of artistic forms.

Wind is the only element that is not visible and is only perceived through its relationship to the other elements. It is a natural phenomenon and a symbol of spirit. It stands for goodness and strength, fertility and desolation. Around the globe, the ambivalence of its characteristics can be found: murmuring and stormy, howling and whispering, wild and tame, warm and cold, communicative and centred. Every culture is influenced by him. His play with high and low pressure is a metaphor for communication in the to and fro of the winds of the world. These diverse aspects of an invisible phenomenon occupy artists worldwide.

The promotion of wind art and intercultural communication is the purpose of the association "bewegter wind", which is the organiser of the art competition.
