ÚSTR’s Educational Tram
November 17th isn’t just an opportunity to celebrate — it’s also an opportunity to educate yourself. Primarily, this means asking questions. What connects 1989 and 1938? What role did the media play during those November days in 1989? How do today’s students learn about these events? The Department of Education at the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes is once again offering a variety of programs in which we’ll work with concrete historical sources in order to think about the course of those events, how they were broadcast in the media, and the form in which we remember them today.
Socialism Realised: The Velvet Revolution for Foreigners (in English)
How did the communist regime collapse? What significance did Czechoslovak citizens attach to the new arrangement? In a presentation on these topics, we’ll introduce SocialismRealised.eu, an educational web portal which was built for international audiences looking for insights on the Czechoslovak experience with communism.
Nov 7-14: Mezipatra Queer Film Festival

Timeless“ exhibition presents significant artistic statements from contemporary Russia, by the classics of formerly unofficial art such as Oskar Rabin, Lydia Masterkova, Ilya Kabakov, Dmitri Prigov, or Viktor Pivovarov, who has been living in Czechoslovakia since 1980s to artists who through their work express the feelings of a generation that has lived virtually its entire live under the current regime.

Until Dec 1: Alberto Giacometti’s Exhibition
The retrospective will present the works by one of the major 20th-century artists, sculptor and painter Alberto Giacometti (1901–1966) for the first time in the Czech milieu. His main theme was the human figure. He became well-known for compelling elongated figures done after World War II, but no less important are his artworks from the interwar period, when he was a key member of the Paris avant-garde. The selection of the exhibits from its collections, which will be shown in the Trade Fair Palace, includes more than one hundred sculptures (including rare originals of plaster), paintings and drawings from all Giacometti’s creative periods, from the 1920s to 1960s.
