Please help us remain an off-culture BASTION!

Since 2002, we run a center for all types of  independent culture: BASTION. During this period, we staged hundreds of events.

The scene of our program of concerts, public readings, movies and performances covering all art disciplines and genres, is Das Kleinste Kino Bochums, Bochum's smallest cinema with 16 seats only.
And further the Egozentrum für zeitgenössische Kunst// Egocenter of contemporary Arts, a small exhibition room.

It's in our name: We wish to be a BASTION for underground arts and culture.
Most important for us are independence, immediacy and diversity.

The effects of the covid pandemic are still present, but the support projects that have thankfully carried us through this not only financially challenging time are coming to an end now.

As a venue, we can only reduce our energy consumption to a limited extent, so we are once again facing an uncertain future due to the expected price explosion in this sector and the generally rising costs in many more.

This is why we need your help now:
We want to remain an off-culture BASTION. Please help us pay our fixed costs. This basically contains the rent for our venue, other fixed expenses such as phone and energy costs and the most urgent measures of maintenance and repair.
