Art of Buna e.V.
{Buna: Ethiopian=coffee} Art of Buna is a place of symbioses. The gallery – which also functions as a small store with a café – resolutely avoids the art world. Paintings, photographs, graphics and much more are deeply grounded here – far removed from the mechanisms of any market. We see art as what it should be: a means of communication. Communication between the artist and the viewer. Art becomes particularly exciting for us when it contributes to a dialog between different cultures, opinions and attitudes. With exhibitions, lectures and workshops, we would like to make our contribution to a social debate and encourage people of different origins or with the most diverse experiences to enter into dialog. We invite you to discover new things, to meet people and art – and to enjoy a delicious Ethiopian coffee.
Art Exhibitions & Cultural Events
In addition to exhibitions, we regularly organize literary readings, film screenings, lectures and small acoustic concerts. In our small store you will find the extraordinary! Things that have been created by people with a lot of love and passion: e.g. exclusive, limited edition art prints, posters and postcards.
