Finally, a biennial is knocking on the gates of Chemnitz: POCHEN. POCHEN will narrate regional stories and regional history in two years rhythm. Each edition of the biennial will focus on a topic which is closely linked to the city, its people, and its past, present and future; and which is strongly linked to its identity.
POCHEN will narrate these stories multimedially: using sound, painting, words, installations and light, audiovisuals, performances and staged. Titled Tage des Aufbruchs – which translates into Days of the Pioneers – the first edition of POCHEN will be dedicated to the Wismut, once one of the biggest uranium mining companies in the world, and the impact it had on the region.
