The Pain of Others
Centrum současného umění DOX
How is it possible to mediate unimaginable suffering to those who have not experienced it themselves? The Pain of Others exhibition project aims to reflect on art’s ability to speak of war, violence, and conflict, and, more importantly, on our (in)ability to relate through art to the horrors of war and the pain of those affected by it.

The unique production combines a physical theatre performance with live music and a film starring child actors of Farm in the Cave studio to communicate an urgent, yet widely overlooked, topic – the online radicalisation of youth. The performers' dynamic movement, the pulse of live music, and disturbing images together create an unusual insight into the digital darkness that most of us are – perhaps intentionally – unaware of.

Today, when more and more people tend to think dangerously alike, art’s capacity to suspend, even for a moment, our habitual ways of seeing may be its greatest value.

More to explore

Education
Projects for school and other groups are based on the DOX Centre's core concept: an institution that takes an interest in the world around it, that tries to comment on it, reflect it, and explore it. We offer encounters with otherness, a shared experience, we develop creativity, and strengthen creative thinking.

Families and children
We utilize the potential of contemporary art and architecture. Aside from an excellent opportunity to "be together" we offer encounters with otherness and opportunity for creativity and inspiration across generations. Our regular Saturday family art workshops build on inspiring exhibition topics.
