SUMMARY:Silent Systems: Breathing Devices (29th Made in Prague Festival)
DESCRIPTION:This group exhibition curated by British curator Daré Dada\, gathers works by Appau Junior Boakye-Yiadom\, Filomena Borecká\, Esther Gaton\, Evar Hussanyi and Henrique Paris to reimagine breath as more than a biological act. \n\nBreathing becomes rhythm and pulse\, presence and absence\, the invisible measure of life that extends beyond the body into objects\, spaces\, and systems. It invites viewers to ask: What is a breath of a city\, a machine\, a material archive? How might breathing become a metaphor for cultural memory\, ecological interdependence\, or technological survival? Filomena Borecká’s practice\, attuned to the subtle energies of air and time\, anchors the exhibition’s meditation on breath as both force and metaphor. Here\, stillness is unsettled: objects expand and contract\, silent systems exhale\, and the unseen currents of existence ripple quietly through matter\, inviting us to reconsider our entanglement with the material world. The works gathered here challenge the presumed stillness of things\, offering instead an ecology of quiet urgencies\, of devices that hold air\, circulate energy\, or embody invisible rhythms. \n\nEXHIBITION OPENING\nFriday 31 October 2025\, 6 – 7.30 pm  \nFree entry\, REGISTER NOW\nEXHIBITION DATES: 31 October 2025 – 16 January 2026\nVENUE\nVitrínka Gallery\, Czech Centre London\n30 Kensington Palace Gardens\, London\, W8 4QY\nOPENING HOURS:\nTue – Fri 10am – 5pm\n\nWhile exploring Silent Systems: Breathing Devices at Vitrínka Gallery\, you might also like to stop by the Czech Centre’s Bouda Gallery to see Filomena Borecká’s breathing sculpture.

SUMMARY:Echoes of Exile: A Family’s Odyssey through the Holocaust and Cold War
DESCRIPTION:Book launch conversation with Daniela Spenser\, chaired by Jana Burešová \n\n\n\n \n\nJoin us for a compelling evening with historian and anthropologist Daniela Grollová Spenser\, as she discusses her new book Echoes of Exile: A Family’s Odyssey through the Holocaust and Cold War.\n\nBlending personal history with political insight\, Spenser traces three generations of her family across some of the most turbulent chapters of the 20th century: from the devastation of the Holocaust and wartime imprisonment\, through the vibrant intellectual and political life of 1960s Czechoslovakia\, to the trauma of exile after the 1968 Soviet invasion. At the heart of the story are her mother\, translator Ruth Tosková\, and her stepfather\, editor and journalist Vladimír Tosek\, whose lives intertwined with prominent figures such as Jiří Pelikán and the émigré journal Listy.\n\nThe book—published in Czech by Argo (2025) and in English by the University of Alabama Press (2025)—offers a deeply human perspective on survival\, displacement\, and the shifting relationship between political exiles and Czech society after 1989.\n\nThe conversation will be chaired by Jana Burešová and will open a window into how private lives intersect with history on a global scale.\n\nAbout the author:\nDaniela Spenser is a fellow at CIESAS (Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios Superiores en Antropología Social) in Mexico City. She is also the author of The Impossible Triangle: Mexico\, Soviet Russia\, and the United States in the 1920sand Stumbling Its Way Through Mexico: The Early Years of the Communist International.\n\nSupported by the BCSA.\n\n 	Admission: 5 (+ Eventbrite fee)

SUMMARY:Women in Focus: Juliet Vopěnka Navrátilová
DESCRIPTION:The next edition of the Czech Centre’s Women in Focus series takes a unique turn—this time delving into the deeply personal and spiritual. Juliet Vopěnka Navrátilová\, author\, shamanic practitioner\, Blue Badge guide\, and anthropology student\, shares her transformative journey from illness and emotional struggle to healing and empowerment. Through sensitivity\, ritual\, and connection\, she redefines what it means to thrive in today’s world. \nAbout Juliet Vopěnka Navrátilová\n\nJuliet left the Czech Republic at 19 and spent two decades in London after a few years in Berlin. Her lifelong sensitivity\, once a burden\, became a strength during a deep “alchemical journey of metamorphoses.” This is also the subtitle of her second book\, Cesta (ne)mocné Londýňanky (The Journey of a Power(less) Londoner)\, which explores trauma\, healing\, and shamanic calling. Her London life included work in Wandsworth prison and as a Blue Badge guide. With degrees in Social and Medical Anthropology from Goldsmiths and UCL\, her study focused on consciousness\, ecofeminism\, and ritual. Her first book\, Myslet srdcem (Thinking with the Heart)\, became a Czech bestseller.About the Theme of the Evening – An Empath’s Journey from Rags to Riches \nIn this edition of the Czech Centre’s Women in Focus series\, Juliet Vopěnka Navrátilová offers a deeply personal and spiritual reflection on living with extreme sensitivity. Her “shamanic illness” became the turning point that redirected her path—from illness and emotional struggle to healing\, empowerment\, and purpose. In this context\, “rags to riches” refers not to material wealth\, but to emotional\, mental\, and spiritual abundance gained through self-understanding. \nThrough travels in Latin America and participation in shamanic ceremonies\, Juliet came to see her empathic nature as a gift rather than a burden. Empaths—highly sensitive\, neurodiverse individuals—often absorb others’ emotions unconsciously\, leading to exhaustion and illness. By embracing her sensitivity\, she now helps others reconnect with their intuition and inner power. As a shamanic practitioner\, she also energetically cleanses homes and spaces. Her journey is one of transformation through ritual\, awareness\, and heart-centred connection. \nwww.thinkingwiththeheart.com\nwww.mysletsrdcem.cz
