We would like to invite you to the launch of the educational project
NARRATIVE 4 / PŘÍBĚHEM inspired by the Narrative 4 methodology of sharing
stories, founded and promoted by the leading Irish writer Colum McCann. The
project, which has been successfully implemented for several years in
Ireland and the USA, is based on the belief that by sharing our own stories
we can develop empathy, strengthen cohesion between different groups and
collectives and contribute to a greater level of understanding between
people in general. The presentation of the project will be followed by a
round table on the role of story in creative education.

Keep exploring
Melancholy of the Outer Limits
The exhibition Melancholy of the Outer Limits presents, for the first time in its entirety, an extensive body of paintings created over the last ten years. Filled with faceless people lost in the ruins of cities, these paintings are a mirror of the artist's own soul.
Point of View: Identity
Another instalment of the long-term project, which combines the format of an exhibition and a classroom and focuses on the theme of human identity. Who am I? What am I? The human form naturally takes centre stage; the body, its clothing, its behaviour. A person's identity and the different ways of looking at it.
