Show on the map
The showcase of kimonos from the collection of MOMI 紅絹, which focuses on traditional Japanese clothing from the end of the Taishō era and the beginning of the Shōwa period (1920s), will be led by Kumie Holý, a professional stylist who specialises in Japanese kimonos and makeup for art and film.
Kumie will present kimonos based on timelessly refined Japanese aesthetics combined with a wave of avant-garde patterns that were popular in Japan not only in the early twentieth century but also today.
The unifying element of the showcase is the worlds of independent filmmaker, poet, writer, and surrealist Shūji Terayama (寺山修司, 1935–1983) and director Seijun Suzuki (鈴木清順, 1923–2017), whose films are known for their flamboyant visual style, absurd humour, and playful rejection of traditional film grammar.
The collection will give you a glimpse of Japan, with all its natural beauty and the magnificent colours of the four seasons, which have long served as inspiration for kimono designs.
The showcase will be followed by a workshop that will offer practical advice about wearing kimonos as everyday clothing.
The event is part of the accompanying programme for the exhibition GA-I-SU-RA.

GA-I-SU-RA
A homage to Petr Geisler and his work, GA-I-SU-RA also pays tribute to calligraphy as a form of inner expression, reminding us that writing and beautiful script have always been a natural reflection of (not only) a pure soul. From his expressive calligraphy through multiple-exposure photography from 1980s Japan to his monumental inscription of the Buddhist Heart Sutra.
HIT BY NEWS
HIT BY NEWS takes a lucid and critical look at the fascinating topic of a society that was, is, and will continue to be shaped by the media. It presents a selection from the collection of Annette and Peter Nobel.
Point of View 3: Balance
The third instalment of a long-term project seeks a balance between the organic and technical worlds. The work of Czech and foreign artists reveals the various connections between nature and technology - two seemingly disparate environments to which we intrinsically belong today, even though we perceive a certain tension between them.
Joel-Peter Witkin: Broken World
An exhibition presenting photographs and drawings by Joel-Peter Witkin from 2010-2025. The exhibited works, by one of the most influential authors who brought photography to the forefront of the visual arts, show why his work continues to shape the way we think about the body, memory, and the meaning of images.
Miquel Barceló and the Written Worlds
The first-ever presentation of the internationally acclaimed Spanish artist Miquel Barceló in the Czech Republic, focusing on his long and intense relationship with literature.
