Argus & Medusa: On Hope in Dark Times
The Argus & Medusa exhibition shows how the work The Raft of the Medusa (1818–1819) by the French artist Théodore Géricault sparks the imagination of contemporary visual artists, thus reflecting the reality of today’s world. A moment between hope and despair.
Antidote
Raising voice against the propaganda disrupting the world. Dakh Daughters does not stand silent in the face of the current threats, but raises a vibrant voice. They offer their music, poetry, and theatre as an antidote to all willing to listen with their hearts and resist the lies intended to distort reality. It is part of the Prague Crossroads Festival.
Israel a Mohamed
Exceptionally sensitive production showing that in mutual relations, differences can be just as important as common traits. Together, under the spellbound gaze of their fathers, they seek a common language based on the body, its wounds and its scars. It is part of the Prague Crossroads Festival.
Liberté [trigger warning]
A production by Georgian theater director Data Tavadze exploring the power of language, how shame becomes a tool of control, and how propaganda contaminates the collective consciousness. It is part of the Prague Crossroads Festival.

Absence of Malice
Does the presumption of innocence hold true in America? Michael Gallagher, the main character in the film Absence of Malice, finds this out the hard way when a fabricated newspaper article accuses him of a crime. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.
Riefenstahl
