Since October 27th, Biba! Since the cultural center was presented and opened in public on Ronda Street, the valuation is "very, very optimistic" according to the members of the working group behind it.

From the day of the presentation, the members of Biba! wanted to express the "uniqueness" of the cultural center, the "importance" that they want to give to the sobers. The premiere was attended by about 100 creators of the Bilbao level, dedicated to different areas of culture. Both Biba! and its creators insisted that "there is a need for such a place." "In Bilbao, looking at creators and the need for a project for creators".

In addition to being a bar, Biba! wants to be "something different" because "we want to dedicate space to different cultural expressions", says Imanol Martínez, friend of Biba!. In fact, the program of cultural centers and bars focuses on music, and Biba! aims to "open" the offer.

In the first month there have been 8-9 performances on the stage of Biba!, "there has been everything", and "a lot of people" have approached these performances. Guests have referred to it as a “cozy place” for performances and a “place to be at ease” for drinks. The people who dedicate themselves to creation have also expressed their satisfaction in Biba! After getting to know him. "They have realized that our desire is to take care of creators and viewers as much as possible."

New speeches from optimism

They didn't "come to take anybody's place" from Biba!In the field of Basque culture, in Bilbao, they consider that "a lot has been done and a lot is done". "In this sense, we believe that it is necessary to develop a new discourse", and for this they will launch a study - they have hired a sociologist - "to make a diagnosis of the cultural spaces and creators that exist in the neighborhoods and to look at the needs and deficiencies that exist and to create their own discourse from now on, to start working from optimism instead of pessimism".

The idea of a "kind of scholarship" to the creators to develop their projects, among other things, is their hand in art.
