11. 3.–2. 4. 2026
Rezidency: Dagmar Šubrtová
opening: 11. 3. 2026 v 18.30
open daily 14-19
The artistic practice of Dagmar Šubrtová consists of a creative dialogue with the realities of both natural and urban environments. Through a tender reading in the memory-caches of individual loci, she uncovers powerful themes, which she makes visible using a wide spectrum of materials and specific techniques. The historical character of the Palmovka Synagogue and its surroundings create a compelling environment, which allows the themes the author has been developing long-term to resonate — for example the temporality of a space, memory strata, transformative processuality, ultraspaces, or the mysteries of personal change.

A theatre performance based on the life of Růžena Vacková – only the second female professor in Czechoslovakia. She was first imprisoned in 1945 for her resistance activities.
