The rich accompanying program of the Jiří Trnka International Symposium is in full swing
Under the motto Freedom Is My Home, the third international symposium dedicated to the work of Jiří Trnka is taking place this October. Alongside the symposium's professional program, numerous accompanying events are being held at various locations throughout Pilsen.
Education and Research Library of the Pilsener Region (SVKPK) is hosting two interesting exhibitions until October 31. The exhibition titled
Anthology of Czech Literature 1989–2023 showcases illustrations by students from the
Didactic Illustration studio at the Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art at the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen and maps key figures in Czech literature since the Velvet Revolution. Next to it, on the first floor of the SVKPK building, you will find the exhibition
Banned Books, where students from the
Book Design and Paper Shaping studio exhibit pop-up books inspired by works of artists who were unable to perform publicly before 1989.
In front of the SVKPK, the exhibition Birds of Passage is on display until the end of October, highlighting the stories of Czech migration through 100 portraits of notable migrants. This exhibition was prepared by students from the Didactic Illustration and Comics and Illustration for Children studios at Sutnar Faculty, in collaboration with Czech Centers and other partners.
The Mázhaus of Pilsen City Hall is offering the exhibition Labyrinths Within Us, open until October 29. Here, you can view works by students from the Didactic Illustration studio. The displayed student projects are inspired by quotes from Christian literature, selected by Professor Ivana Noble, head of the Ecumenical Institute at the Protestant Theological Faculty at Charles University, and quotes from books by Czech writer Arnošt Lustig, chosen by his daughter, Eva Lustigová.
The Great Synagogue in Pilsen hosts two exhibitions from October 10 to 31 – Guests of the Jiří Trnka International Symposium and Food as a Ritual. The opening will take place on Thursday, October 10, at 5 p.m.
