Programmes for school groups
The Truth, or a Lie?
Can truth be objective? The educational programme explores the thin line between truth, lies and constructed opinion, especially in the field of human culture and public space.
Storybox: The Consolation of Objects
How much does a narrative need illustration and a picture needs a story? At DOX, we believe that a gallery and an exhibition in it is like a big box full of stories and you just have to choose. The programme draws inspirational material from the ambiguous yet poetic works of Orhan Pamuk.
From a Different Perspective: The Consolation of Objects
An educational programme using Narrative 4 methodologies, excerpts from Orhan Pamuk's work and visual material from the exhibition The Consolation of Objects. Get to know others and yourself from a different side.
DJ Curator: The Consolation of Objects
The programme for the exhibition The Consolation of Objects with the works of Orhan Pamuk introduces students and pupils to the role of the curator in contemporary art. In a broader sense, it shows the curator as an essential figure in any information creation.
Art In Your Pocket
What all is hidden under the term “contemporary art”, and what paths does art open to us? What is a work of art, and how can we recognise it? And where is the line between a work and its author? An educational programme from our permanent offer of The Role of Art / Roles in Art for the current exhibitions The Consolation of Objects and MILKOV.
What's in the way?
Since ancient times, people have been placing sculptures in the space around them. Why is this so? And what exactly is such a statue? What is it for? A playful and exploratory journey through the DOX space with the creation of your own sculpture.
Breaking Down Stereotypes
What are our stereotypes good for? What do they allow us to do and how do they limit us? What can prejudice do? We live in a time and a society in which hate speech is becoming a routine part of our lives.
Hooray, a Mistake
Are my capabilities inherited? Do my own mistakes discourage me from further attempts? Or can I exceed my limits? This educational programme, which uses the methodology of Professor Philip Zimbardo's Heroic Imagination Project.
Drop by
Buildings and their narratives are part of our lives, we can face them (standing, sitting, or lying down) in various ways – we define the sense and size of structures. And in a similar way, structures define us.
#Datamaze: Algorithmic future
Thanks to smartphones, digital technology has literally gotten under our skin. They are our daily companion. But do we understand how they work? In this workshop we will explore the meaning of the word algorithm and its importance in today's digitally saturated society.
#Datamaze: Data Detox
Has an ad on Google every surprised you by promoting something that you are expecting to be delivered tomorrow by courier? Don’t you sometimes get the feeling that your life is being controlled by some sort of algorithm?
#Datamaze: The Magic of Design
Design is all around us - in both the natural and human world. It's an excellent helper, but can also easily become a means of seduction and deception. In the digital world, design defines how we interact with the virtual universe behind the monitor.
#Datamaze: You Are Content
The internet changed the world of advertising. It has become even more omnipresent, but not only that. It is increasingly more difficult for us to distinguish what is and isn’t advertising.
#Datamaze: Fake it!
The Internet and especially social networks make active use of the phenomenon of popularity. The more likes, followers, tweets, posts, blogs, photos… the greater trust people place a virtual identity.
A Fairy Tale About a Factory
What happens to things that have ceased to serve their purpose? What happens with such a building? What function can be found for it, and shall we even seek any? A Fairy Tale About a Factory tells a story about a dilapidated Holešovice factory,
Space for Manipulation
Every place, every building affects us. The fact that often we aren’t even aware of it is another issue. How do we perceive the building we’re in right now? Once upon a time it was an old, abandoned factory, now it is an exclusive gallery.
Gulliver’s Travels Into Fantasy
Where would you like to go if you were able to magically transport yourself? Would it be some familiar place on Earth, a yet-undiscovered island, or a completely fabricated world? Past or future? And what would you bring back with you to our reality?
Ordinary Heroism
What do we do when there is a potentially dangerous situation occurring in our vicinity? Do we intervene, or do we leave it up to others? The Ordinary Heroism programme presents a psychological phenomenon known as the bystander effect.
Are you hesitating which program to choose? We will be happy to help you.
