The cuba is a socio-cultural centre near Münster’s main railway station. Under the label cuba-cultur, an international music and art programme has been organised since 1987, introducing a variety of artists to the region for the first time. The programme includes concerts with style-making musicians from the fields of new music, jazz, improvised music, electronic and experimental music as well as sound installations (1st festival in 1989), performances and larger cross-genre projects. The cuba cooperates with Hawerkamp 31 e.V., which runs the Hawerkamp exhibition site.
