POKOJE is a unique showcase of young art that connects students from Czech and international art universities and fosters space for international collaboration. Each studio or student collective is assigned one room in an empty building in the center of Prague, which they transform into their own site-specific installation. This format encourages experimentation with exhibition approaches beyond traditional gallery settings and enables the confrontation of various artistic disciplines and spatial working methods. POKOJE thus functions both as a platform for exploring the possibilities of contemporary art practices and as a space for dialogue among the emerging generation of artists.

The theme of power, which frames this year’s exhibition showcase Pokoje, might seem traditional and much-discussed. However, the approach of young emerging artists is unconventional – neither normative nor straightforward. Their installations convey vulnerability, tension, and doubt, yet they address the theme with sensitivity, often intuitively and abstractly. Rather than defining who holds power and who does not, they ask how power manifests itself, how we perceive it, and how it transforms within everyday human interactions as well as broader social structures.
