The art of coping

The ability to engage against injustice requires a good deal of courage. And a sense of humour can come in handy in unexpected ways. Badiucao, a Chinese artist in exile, has both. Family art workshop for the exhibition BADIUCAO: MADE IN CHINA.

Why do we need the past?

A cursory glance at the shelves of bookstores or at various book prices is enough to convince us that history is one of the favourite themes of contemporary literature. Why is this so? A discussion with writers Karin Lednicka, Katarína Kucbelová and screenwriter Vojtěch Mašek.

A Lot of Power
