An educational programme from the ROLE(S) IN ART catalogue for the architecture of the DOX Centre, DOX+, and for the Gulliver Airship
the “architect” role
When during one educational programme for Eva Jiřičná’s exhibition we asked what it means to “put your body on the line”, we wanted to find out what role is played by the ability to take a risk and forge one’s own path during any type of creative activity. The exhibition ended, but the works of courageous architects and designers still invite us to stop and enter them. 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.
Why is variety important in (not only) architecture, and what role does the personality of creators play? We will explore these questions as well as ourselves in premises created three prominent architects. We will contrast the severity and purity of the “white cube” that is DOX with the absolutely different approach of Martin Rajniš, the creator of the Gulliver Airship, and for the first time also with the new DOX+ multifunction space, which was built under the leadership of award-winning architect Petr Hájek. Which will suit you best?
The educational programme contains various activities, commentaries, and discussions within the exhibition, with a closing workshop. Individual parts of the programme are naturally balanced and adapted to the age of the group.
Surprise friends or family with an unconventional afternoon, or get to know your colleagues in other roles - you can order this programme as a family workshop or team building. More information

Storybox: Everything Like at the Dawn of the World
How much does narrative need illustration and image need a story? At DOX, we believe that a gallery like this, and the exhibition within it, is like a big box full of stories and all you have to do is choose. The programme draws inspirational material from Kamila Ženata's exhibition of abstract paintings Everything Like at the Dawn of the World.
Sticking Your Neck Out: KAFKAesque
Programme for the KAFKAesque exhibition and the role of the artist. What is the role of courage and the ability to follow one's own path in any kind of creation? What about us? What fascinates us? What are our problems, what troubles us and what do we want and can we do about it?
From a Different Page: KAFKAesque
Since the invention of writing, text and image have been among the most important means of conveying information and extending memory. Before the internet, the most common medium for this memory was the book. Experience an educational program using Narrative 4 methodologies and KAFKAesque exhibition imagery.
Art In Your Pocket: KAFKAesque

DJ Curator: KAFKAesque

#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: 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.
Storybox
How much does storytelling need illustration, and how much do images need a story? An educational programme inspired by the Narrative4 method for the Fenomeander exhibition.
Hooray, a Mistake
