Literary discoveries, stimulating talks, special concerts, contemporary art, and conversations about our joint neighbourship await you at polenmARkT 2026. Look forward to the opening ceremony with the bestowal of the XXVII Advancement Award for German-Polish Collaboration in the Alfried Krupp Wissenschaftskolleg Greifswald (Institute for Advanced Studies) on 12 November, to Varsovian singer Ola Jas, a reading with Matthias Nawrat, and a staged reading of Sławomir Mrożek’s “The Emigrants”.
We will gain exciting perspectives on Polish cultural history, discover stories about women between migration and a sense of belonging with Beata Zuzanna Borawska, and discuss the future of German-Polish relations. Films and contemporary art also invite you to discover new aspects and encourage you to take a look beyond boundaries.
The Fat Angels from Szczecin and DJ Akaya will provide the music for a lively end to the festival on 21 November.
Come along, discover something new, and celebrate the diversity of Polish culture with us!
Festival dates: 12 - 21 November 2026.
