Since its inception, B-51 Cultural Society has been engaged in the development, organisation, and promotion of contemporary art and culture, mostly as a producer of performing arts works and also as an exhibition organiser.

B-51 Cultural Society is primarily involved in the organisation of cultural events in the area of performing arts. Besides producing one of the most distinguished international festivals in the wider region, the Ex Ponto International Festival, the society regularly enters international co-productions with foreign producers and festivals, which appear or even première at the mentioned annual Ljubljana-based festival. These co-productions prove to be interesting not only because of international casts or collaborators, but primarily because they result in some unexpected connections. Such was the case in the 2007 performance Life in the Shadow of the Banana Plant [Življenje v senci bananovca], dealing with the bitter reality of life in former socialist countries as a consequence of their transition to a market economy, written by Ivan Vidić, one of Croatia’s most intriguing playwrights, and directed by the Lithuanian director Cezaris Graužinis, who studied under the famous Japanese theatre director Tadashi Suzuki. The production was also an experiment in direction, as the version of the performance, presented at Ex Ponto Festival, included both Slovene and Croatian casts, i.e. employed both languages at the same time and in the same place. However, both casts may also perform independently, each its own version.
B-51 (Ex Ponto) is a member of the New European Theatre Action (NETA) and since November 2007 the seat of the NETA Secretariat.
