P R A H A

The goal of the project, running since 2013, is to transfer artists activities outside the studio and galleries into the countryside, creating a long-term project in the field of ecological media art. The activities incude workshops, exhibitions, and meetings, and the artists interact with the public, exhibiting new forms and new approaches in artmaking.

The project culminates with the Konvergence festival, taking place in several places, and hosted by these cities: Prague, Brussels, Nantes, St. Nazaire among others. Each organization works with local artists, and thanks to the PVC (People's Vision Collector),
the active spaces of the festival will be connected in real time. A complete video document of the festival will be presented, using recordings from events from the summer of 2013 to the fall of 2014 in Vysočina, and in other countries of the partner projects.

Activities at the Školská 28 gallery will feature the artists and organizers. A workshop on (not only) urban gardening and composting will be lead by specialists from the Kokoza group.

RurArtMap enters its third year, a collaboration between Yo-yo and Artmap. The map highlights the artistic, cultural and environmental initiatives in areas outside the main centers, and can also be used as a guide for unconventional journeys. The map will be offered simultaneously in Prague and Vysočina. On this occasion, there will be a simultaneous performance symbolically linking the two sites, and we plan to repeat this action in future years on the same day (St. George’s) and thus establish a new tradition of discussions on an ecological approach to the arts and culture bridging the rural and the urban.

Lecture and workshop with Tomáš Svoboda

LECTURE Basics of permaculture design

FRIDAY APRIL 24 FROM 7 PM, Městské muzeum Chotěboř (Riegrova 1 – zámek, Chotěboř)

Natural garden does not mean going back to nature, but further to nature!

Natural garden looks in all kinds of ways. There is no uniformity for natural garden. Every natural garden is especial in its uniqueness.

Natural garden can be expressed in principles used to approach it and being realized. These are based on the concept of permaculture as a principle and way to self-sufficiency and sustainability. (Tomáš Svoboda)
