Anna Mírková – Social Worlds of the River
A line branching across maps, a name, a source and an estuary; a metaphor, an image, a kindred species, a neighbour—what can a river be? Where do we draw its boundaries, and where do we draw the boundaries between ourselves and the river?
Rivers are living entities: they are born, they change, and they disappear, though on timescales different from those we are accustomed to. Yet their metabolism also undergoes transformations within the span of human lives. What is the life story of the Vltava? How does it enter the lives of the people who live alongside it? How might we listen to it? And what political implications might arise from entering into conversation with a river?
This two-hour workshop invites participants to explore these questions collectively through drawing, conversation, and imagination on the banks of the Vltava.
BIO
Anna Mírková’s practice draws on social work, artivism, and environmental anthropology. She focuses on questions of the right to the city and more-than-human processes of landscape-making. Her research explores relationships between cats and humans in Prague cemeteries, as well as post-flood recovery in the Jeseníky region, where she traces how water moves through the local landscape and through the institutions seeking to control it.

Hynek Alt – Fantom
Fantom, a site-specific installation by Hynek Alt, returns to the site where J. Sudek once worked in Prague’s Újezd district. The central element of the exhibition is a video created within a digital reconstruction of the studio. The exhibition includes a new photographic work that returns to Sudek’s portraits of veiled faces.
Infrastructures of Imagination
The exhibition explores how mythical and ritual narratives are reconfigured within an environment of data abstraction, distributed knowledge, and the aesthetic protocols of the present, and how digital culture shapes new forms of storytelling.
Michal Kalhous – Goosefoot and Raspberries, The Road to Victory
The exhibition *Goosefoot and Raspberries, The Road to Victory* presents a series of photographs created over the recent period. It is an experimental tool of synthesis and a search for a path to fulfillment. At the same time, it is a purposeful, captivating exploration of suddenness and their relationships. *Goosefoot and Raspberries, The Road to Victory* is once again an attempt at a dialogue between inner experience and a higher, transcendent order.
