A Decade on: Our Play
2022 is a 10 year anniversary of my 4 Generations of Women project, which began one summer in South Bohemia. The whole project found its expression quite inconspicuously, through observation of the dynamic within the household, which suddenly and through various events, became occupied by women only. At the time I was preparing for an…

In terms of cultural memory, it is also the longest still transmitted – its significance and meaning passed down from generation to generation. While Masopust has been marked for centuries, especially in rural villages,…
4 Generations Women: December 2021

This year was different. My grandmother’s apartment, right next to my parents’, in the centre of Prague, brings out many childhood memories…
