Manifesta 16 Ruhr at St. Ludgerus Church: Art, Space, and Silent Encounter
The St. Ludgerus Church in Bochum becomes part of Manifesta 16 Ruhr and opens its special sacred space for a contemporary experience of faith and art. The exhibition connects a spiritual atmosphere, architectural presence, and shared experience in a place that stands for openness and cultural dialogue. Admission is free and no ticket is required.

A Place Where Silence Becomes Visible
Upon entering the church, visitors encounter a space that wants to be experienced, not just observed. Manifesta 16 Ruhr uses church buildings in the Ruhr region as open places of encounter, making the connection between art, memory, and the present tangible even in Bochum.

Spiritual Resonance in the Church Space
The St. Ludgerus Church is located in Langendreer and is part of the pastoral life of the Liebfrauen Bochum parish. It is also home to the youth pastoral center Trinity, which shapes the location with ecclesiastical presence and community. This creates a framework where the exhibition and religious experience coexist respectfully. ([liebfrauen-bochum.com](https://www.liebfrauen-bochum.com/gemeinden/trinity/?utm_source=openai))
