Peter Behrens School of Arts/Hochschule Düsseldorf

At the Peter Behrens School of Arts at Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences, more than 2,000 students study in the fields of design and architecture. In their daily work, students explore current design and architecture issues in society and look for new solutions in the digital and global world. This is reflected in projects and cooperations for which our students have already received numerous prizes and awards. At Miss Read 2024, we will present our diverse student work in the fields of book design, typography, illustration, art printing and more to a broad professional audience. We look forward to an inspiring exchange with visitors and exhibitors at this year's fair.

The Spur Fotomagazin not only provides an insight into photographic student work that would otherwise remain hidden from the public, it also supports and emphasizes its value through the special nature of the printed medium. At a time when we are digitally inundated with images, the magazine offers an analog space in which its content can be highlighted and celebrated.
