38 Riv is a performance space situated in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, specifically at 38 Rue de Rivoli. Originally a warehouse, it was occupied by artists in the 1990s and subsequently transformed into a self-managed cultural center. The space is known for its raw industrial aesthetic and its commitment to supporting experimental and independent artistic practices. It hosts a variety of events including concerts, exhibitions, workshops, and performances across disciplines. The venue’s acoustics are noted for being particularly well-suited to intimate musical performances due to its concrete structure and relatively small capacity. It operates as a non-profit association prioritizing artist-led projects.
