A workshop that makes the future visible and tangible

The event starts at 6:00 PM, is free of charge, and takes place as part of NOW! Room to Grow.

A space for exchange, connection, and design

The focus is on collaborative creative work that not only explains communication but also makes it experienceable as part of a vibrant process. The BGK describes the project as a growing, participatory installation, in which citizens, artists, and guests work together on a vision of community. This creates an event that asks less about the finished result and more about encounter, process, and audience mood.

The Domizil as an open art space

In Bergmannstraße 53, studio atmosphere meets event planning, cultural education, and an accessible event experience. The city of Gelsenkirchen categorizes the BGK as an interest group active since 1950, which makes art visible in the city through its formats.
