Pogon - Zagreb Center for Independent Culture and Youth

POGONis a cultural center based on a new model of public-civil partnership between the City of Zagreb and a coalition of NGOs working in the fields of independent culture and youth. POGON supports contemporary creation, presentation and reception by providing its premises and technical equipment to associations, art organizations, informal groups and individuals free of charge, as well as by creating different opportunities for learning, encounters and collaboration. Every year POGON supports the implementation of over one hundred different event formats from all spheres of contemporary culture and art (exhibitions, theatre and dance performances, contemporary circus performances, concerts, lectures, public forums, screenings, workshops, seminars, and other interdisciplinary, educational and discursive events). Currently it operates 2 locations in Zagreb, a big black box and a white box in a former factory on Sava river bank, and 2 conference halls at it's headquarters in city center.
