Past events
Recycliterature
An open art workshop for children aged 7 and up and adults, where we will breathe new life into discarded printed materials. We will focus on collage - combining text and photographic reproduction. By linking originally unrelated and fragmented texts and images, new, bizarre, humorous situations will be created.
The Universe of Art
An open art workshop for children aged 5 and up and adults relating to the book The universe of art and the current exhibitions of the DOX Centre.
Discoveries, Idea, Inspirations
Participants of creative workshops at the FALL festival will share their experiences, discoveries, ideas, and the results of their creative work. What texts, stories, and architectural models did they create in workshops?

Apeirogon: A True Story
Colum McCann in conversation with Rami Elhanan and Bassam Aramin, the main protagonists of his celebrated Apeirogon. Bassam Aramin is Palestinian. Rami Elhanan is Israeli. Their worlds fall apart after the conflict claims the lives of their daughters: ten-year-old Abir is killed by a rubber bullet and thirteen-year-old Smadar becomes the victim of suicide bombers.
Dehnel, Němec: The Art of Writing on Art
How do writers bring the life and work of famous artists onto the page? How do they transform the composition, texture, paint or light into words? Jacek Dehnel and Jan Němec in conversation with Blanka Činátlová.
Literature on Film: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
True story. A novel written with an "eye" and brought to the screen. The film, directed by Julian Schnabel, is based on a book by the real-life story of Jean-Dominique Bauby, the editor-in-chief of Elle magazine. After a sudden stroke, he becomes paralysed.
How to Write About War
Czech writers reflect on Russian aggression in Ukraine in many different ways. Is direct experience of war necessary for an artistic reflection on it? What role does empathy play in this process? Join us for an author reading and discussion aboard the airship Gulliver.
Matters of the Heart: Denemarková, Bellová, Šteger
We all have our favourite stories. Even writers themselves have their favourite writers – and their own particular literary matters of the heart. In this programme, our festival guests will share their favourite stories. Do you want to know what Bianca Bellová, Radka Denemarková, and Aleš Šteger enjoy reading?
