Past events
Beyond Words with curator
Join curator Michaela Šilpochová for a guided tour of the exhibition Beyond Words in which works of twelve contemporary visual artists raise some questions about the nature of our literary culture.
Visual Storytelling
Join this interactive and radically empathic experimental workshop led by independent photography professional Stefano Carini. The workshop is dedicated to visual storytellers, image makers, photographers, and anyone who has an interest in the image and telling stories through photography.
VR: Cosmogonic & Notes on Blindness
Two unique VR projects address, each from a different angle, how new technologies relate to the theme of humanity. While in Cosmogonic the VR headset is a gateway to a dystopian future, Notes on Blindness by contrast shows VR technology as a path to deeper understanding between people.
Colum McCann: Apeirogon
DOX presents the long-awaited launch of the Czech edition of a novel that conquered the world. Colum McCann’s most ambitious work to date, Apeirogon – named for a polygon with an infinite number of sides – celebrates the power of stories, friendship, and humanity.
Empathy as a tool and goal
Experience the story as the international project Narrative 4 works with it. For educators, we have prepared a lecture by Irish trainers of the Narrative 4 methodology and a discussion with Bassam Aramin and Rami Elhanan.
Words to Wake You Up
How can writers respond to a variety of contemporary issues and future crises? Writers Radka Denemarková and Liz Jensen, along with Professor Morten L. Kringelbach aboard the Gulliver Airship, will discuss the power of literature and narrative to enable us to survive.
The Title of the Book
The title is part of a book’s face, and encountering this face is like a finger wandering on a map of an unknown island. In this art workshop for children and adults aged 5 and up, we will try to combine imagination, the artistic possibilities of different materials and long-lost books.
Matteo Pericoli: Literary Architecture
We often hear that stories have an internal structure or architecture. What do we mean by that? Can you build a story? Architect, illustrator, and teacher Matteo Pericoli founded the Laboratory of Literary Architecture, a fascinating project exploring literature as architecture.
The Infamous Beauty exhibition with curator
The work of the renowned American photographer Andres Serrano deals with social issues, sexuality, racial intolerance and dark aspects of human being. Join curator Otto M. Urban for a guided tour through both parts of the exhibition: a set of 60 works entitled Beauty.
