The club's programme is run by a consortium of NGOs and individual organisers, and one can find an affordable or admission-free event on almost every day of the week.
History
The beginnings of Gromka go back to 1995, when one of the premises at the squatted military barracks was re-programmed to became a theatre space called Teater Gromki, with 'gromki' meaning loud. Eventually the theatre was transformed into a club with somewhat broader aspirations, and as such also started to admit music concerts and other art forms.
Yet, political activities were always a strong dimension of Gromka, which for many years hosted the weekly lectures of the Workers' Punk University, organised by the Peace Institute and set up by the sociologist Tonči Kuzmanić in 1998. Working outside the institutionalised academic setting, this very influental 'university' enabled an alternative production of theory and presented an important space for dissemination of autonomous and theoretically ambitious thought.
Programme
Music-wise, the most active part of the programme are currently Defonija, a renowned series for improvised and experimental music; the genre unbound and loud events by KiborgSpužva Büking; the raging R.A.F.A.L. concerts with grind core, d'beat, crust, and other punk and hard core tendencies; and gigs set up by the similarly punk and HC oriented crews of Giljotina and Human Beans.
Theatre is also still present in Gromka, with the shows usually held on Wednesdays. Very different groups and producers are taking care of them, one of them being the Emanat Institute with a very curious serious of multi-media events. Other events involve the cinema evenings and discussions held by the Cultorologist Association, clubbing nights, occasional events organised by humanities students associations, and so on. It is home to the Ljubljana International Short Film Festival and the DokuBazaar, Ljubljana Independent Documentary Film Festival
Gromka sporadically co-hosts parts of the festivals like the Druga Godba Festival, City of Women, International Feminist and Queer Festival Red Dawns, Ljubljana Jazz Festival, MENT Ljubljana, etc. It also hosts concerts organised by KUD Mreža and Moonlee.
