Manifesta 16 Ruhr at the Gethsemane Church Bochum: Experience art, history, and spiritual atmosphere

At the Gethsemane Church Bochum, faith experience and contemporary art meet in a special space for reflection. Manifesta 16 Ruhr opens the church as a place for exhibition, dialogue, and community perception – supported by the quiet dignity of a Protestant house of worship and the openness of a cultural meeting point.

A place that brings faith and art together

Manifesta 16 Ruhr transforms selected churches in the Ruhr area into vibrant spaces for exhibitions, workshops, and site-specific installations. In Bochum, the Gethsemane Church is one of those places where spiritual tradition and contemporary art engage in a respectful exchange. This makes the visit a religious and cultural experience that provides space for contemplation, perception, and community.

The Gethsemane Church as a special backdrop

The Gethsemane Church is a Protestant emergency church from the post-war period and therefore part of a turbulent church history. Its simple, dignified character shapes the atmosphere of the place. Those who enter here not only experience an exhibition but also a piece of Protestant architectural and community history that tells of hope, reconstruction, and solidarity to this day.

What visitors can expect at Manifesta 16

The program of Manifesta 16 Ruhr includes events, educational formats, workshops, and artistic works in the churches of the Ruhr area. In the Gethsemane Church Bochum, the church space itself becomes part of the experience. Visitors encounter art in an environment that promotes silence, reflection, and communal discovery.

Free admission and open to interested parties
