In the page's words:

The basic idea of cuba-cultur is to promote international cultural exchange and thus give new impetus to the regional art and music scene. The starting point was the activities of the Improvised Music Initiative at the beginning of the 1980s - e.g. the Improvised Music Workshop in 1980 and the International Music and Theater Festival in 1982.

With the founding of the"cuba" cultural and meeting center in 1986, a permanent location for advanced projects was created. Performance art and installations were added to the musical focus, forms of expression that - like music - are bound by time.
An essential feature of the program is curiosity and proximity to the producers - the artists - and thus proximity to current trends in music and art.

The program includes improvised music, new music, electronic music and contemporary jazz, occasionally traditional/ethnic music. This has shaped long-standing event series such as JazzToday: style-defining contemporary jazz of the post-free-jazz era, STAGE off LIMITS: improvised music and sound art, on the first Sunday of each month or GERÄUSCHWELTEN: "new electronica" curated by Till Kniola.

cuba-cultur is the headquarters of GNM-Münster - Gesellschaft für Neue Musik, which has been organizing the KlangZeitFestival Münster since 2000. In addition to cross-genre festivals and international exchange, the focus in the visual arts is on promoting the regional art scene in a bimonthly foyer exhibition series.

The program is constantly evolving. As a result, new events that focus on young literature in particular - such as the Tatwort poetry slam and the reading stage - are becoming increasingly important and popular with audiences. In this context, the idea of a short film slam has also developed, offering young filmmakers a forum.

Events take place in the BLACK BOX or other venues.
