Stronger Peripheries: A Southern Coalition
Pogon joined a new European cooperation network, focusing on collaborative strategies, capacity building and cultural policies.
Projects
In order to truly make Pogon a vital place for the ones who want to organize an event in its premises, for professional community, as well as for the general public, we are developing programmes aimed at involving Croatian artists in artistic production and distribution. We are also implementing programmes aimed at young people and audience development.
International Cultural Cooperation
With its activities in the international, primarily European scene, through its involvement in various projects, Pogon contributes to networking and enables collaboration between Croatian and international artists. As the organization that manages the space of the former Jedinstvo factory, Pogon is an affiliate of the Trans Europe Halles Network. Pogon participates in various international discussions on the role of culture in present-day Europe.
Capacity building
Pogoing is dedicated to strengthening the capacities of artists and organisations active in the field of independent culture and youth for the production and dissemination of their works. We are as well conducting non-formal educational programmes targeting the individuals active in the field of culture, and are enrolling or implementing ourselves projects that are promoting an innovative institutional model of civil-public partnership in culture.
Community
Pogon implements its programmes for the community with the community. In the manner of a good host, we're listening, detecting and trying to meet the needs of the independent cultural scene and youth as well as our neighbours. Through our programmes we're making the independent culture and contemporary art closer to the audience.
