On Thursday 16 July, the event “Über~Fluss. Performing Sustainable Soundscapes”, conceived by students on the Master’s programmes “Popular Music and Media” and “Pop Media Culture” at the University of Paderborn. Starting from the question of not only how cultural events can be (more) sustainable, but also how the broad topic of “sustainability” can be conveyed aesthetically within the context of cultural events, the students have developed a multi-performance event along the urban river landscape of the Pader. Germany’s shortest river was awarded the European Heritage Label in 2026. The title “Über~Fluss” refers not only to a society that, to a large extent, lives in abundance, but also to contemplation and reflection on the river that defines Paderborn. The students are supported and guided by Prof. Dr Beate Flath and Moritz Holstein. The event begins at 6 pm at Am Rothoborn. From there, visitors, artists and organisers will set off together along the Pader under the motto ‘Go with the Flow’.
In three consecutive short performances at three different locations, connections will be drawn between nature, culture, the river and urban landscapes, as well as theatre and Music. From Rothoborn, via the square behind the Reineke Mill, to the Pader meadows, visitors can look forward to an artistic performance by the actor Max Rohland, a spoken word performance by Henrik zur Mühlen, and a musical performance by the artist coney.
The event is part of the student event series “Zwischenmiete”, which has been held annually since the 2017/18 winter semester and artistically explores various, sometimes unusual locations in and around Paderborn with a programme created by students for students. Admission is free.
