Tereza Violet Stehlíková
I am a Czech-British artist, writer, researcher and educator working across moving image, installation, participatory performance and writing. My practice explores embodied perception, sensory experience, atmosphere, memory and place, with a particular interest in how we make meaning through the body.
Rooted in artistic research, my work brings art into dialogue with philosophy and sensory studies. I am interested in the body as a mode of knowing, and in how artistic experience can deepen attention, challenge habitual ways of perceiving, and bring us into a more direct relationship with the world around us.
I hold a PhD from the Royal College of Art, London. I am the author of Exiled from Our Bodies: How to Come Back to Our Senses (Routledge, 2025), published as Tereza Stehlíková, editor of Tangible Territory, and co-founder of the Ecstatic Truth symposium. I have taught and supervised across institutions in the UK and the Czech Republic, and am currently based in Prague.

How exciting to discover your site and your research! I’ll be following you.
All best!
I stumbled into your site looking for help with narratives to guide, explain, initiate students in meditation around landscape, earth, embodiment, and felt experience. I was following the spoor of Vaclav Cilek. Thank you for your wonderful translation. And thank you for the additional gifts of Rilke and Mann and your 4 Generation Project and your boldness in exploring sensory perceptions. I now stumble out of you site reeling with possibilities.
Thank you for your kind words Bruce. I am very happy to hear my blog made you feel inspired!
