GALONI / INIZIO ORE 19:00

The Monk, whose name is deliberately inspired by the omnivorous and revolutionary talent of jazz pianist Thelonious Sphere Monk, was born in Rome in the Casalbertone/Portonaccio district, less than a kilometer from one of the capital's most important hubs, the Tiburtina railway and metro station. It is an open and inclusive space dedicated to those who want to produce, share, and engage with cultural experiences, including specific activities for all age groups. The content on offer is aimed at those who are curious about new artistic and cultural productions, as well as those who enjoy seeking out small projects by independent artists. The venue was previously home to La Palma Club from around 1995 to 2007 and hosted prestigious concerts and festivals for over a decade, primarily focusing on jazz, ethnic, and auteur music. In 2014, after seven years of closure, the space was reopened thanks to remediation and redevelopment efforts by the Social Promotion Association C'MON!, aiming to improve access, usability, and preserve the space's significance within the city fabric. Monk is a multifaceted and diverse space dedicated to sharing, well-being, and the functional and mindful enjoyment of cultural content, offering a continuous flow of stimuli and experiences. It is a place for those eager to produce, share, and engage with cultural experiences, including specific activities for every age group. The content caters to those intrigued by new artistic and cultural productions, as well as those who enjoy discovering small projects by independent entities.
