Art Basement: Gallery, Bar, Shop

"The 101 Dump Gallery is a cosy, creative basement space in Almaty, blending Soviet relics, coffee, films, and underground art exhibitions."

Right next to the Batyrkhan Shukenov Wall, one can descend into a basement that holds one of the warmest and most special places for Almaty's creative people: the 101 Dump Gallery, a venture from the creators of the magical Art&Fact shop. Its history is as unique as its atmosphere; the owners single-handedly transformed an abandoned sports club into this multifaceted space, lovingly preserving some of the old elements which now add a special charm.

It is a true labyrinth of delights. In one part, you can find wonderful old trinkets with a deep patina of the Soviet era, grab a coffee with fresh pastries, or sit at the bar. In another, a cosy cinema has been set up, where every Wednesday they screen rare, arthouse, or documentary films about the arts.

But the heart of this place is the gallery space itself. Here you will find fascinating exhibitions of underground art, lectures, and performances, bringing together the city's boldest and most unconventional artists and thinkers. This is not just a gallery, but a living organism, a true refuge created with soul for those who seek something more than just beautiful walls.
