Until Feb 16: 1989 Exhibiton
How did Czech photographers and artists capture the year 1989? The exhibition in the Trade Fair Palace seeks to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution. It also seeks, in hindsight, to examine the year 1989, which was a turning point in many respects; not only for Czech society, but also for photography.
The year 1989 was exceptional not only in terms of political events, but also for the medium that recorded them – photography. In that year, several exhibitions commemorated the 150th anniversary of the official announcement of the discovery of photography. Nobody could know that following the revolution, which came soon after, a wave of interest in eastern European art would surge for a short time and Czech photography would be presented abroad at several exhibitions.
