Join a Visiting Artist & Lecture Series, this time by Erika Thomas.
For several years she has been developing her academic and artistic research in the perspective of what is called “research-creation” or “art-based research” . From documentary film and video art to poetry and performance, creation is developed as a territory for thinking about the Self and the world.

We have invited Jiří Skála for this semester's first Visiting Artist & Lecture Series. His lecture will focus on the theme of work and artistic practice. He will explore this theme through several of his artworks from the last two decades. He will also highlight the meaning of work and how this specific activity has developed over the last twenty years in the Eastern European context.

Patrick Thomas is a graphic artist, author and educator. He studied at Central Saint Martins and the Royal College of Art
in London before relocating to Barcelona in 1991. He currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany. He will talk about his decision to concentrate on projects that take place in public spaces.

Speaking at Prague City University, Christian will share two perspectives on the climate catastrophe.
One, from the vantage point of a graphic novelist, where he explores early post-apocalyptic literature, and considers its potential to expand our visual vocabulary around climate collapse.
