Our New Website is Up and Running
The new website for the Agosto Foundation is now online (after much deliberation and testing) with a new design and clearer organization of content. In addition to archiving the content from the previous website, we are also amassing an ever-expanding collection of documents concerning the projects and events we support and curate. Come by for a visit, and watch it grow and change in the coming months.

Stop Tracking Me
How to regain your privacy and autonomy online
Lecture and workshop by Yury Bulka
11 February, 2017, 2 PM
Autonomous Social Centre Klinika in Prague
The everyday digital activities of every one of us are being recorded, collected, analyzed and exploited by various commercial and government structures, and the extent and depth of this hybrid sci-fi-like system is already beyond imagination. But the saying “privacy is dead” is a myth. During the workshop we will briefly discuss the current state of corporate and government data collection and then proceed with a practical workshop covering the basic open-source technologies and tools that anyone can use to "opt-out" of this system and liberate their online life from excessive control and surveillance.

A Practice within a Vision
Sam83 and Aradecor
Kdyně
The narrow studio of Milada Hynková, a simple one-story house, has gradually become filled with all things Aradecor, the textile technique produced using the Arachné, which it has been gnashing out for half a century. Yet the first impression of Hynková’s studio doesn’t immediately scream ‘studio’; there’s no telltale smell suggesting a medium, no arrangement of canvases or heaps of material. Upon entering you get more the sense that a collector lives here, the hallway and kitchen to the right are filled with Aradecor pieces which grateful artists have given to Hynková over the years.
