Control in Exile
Lucia Tkáčová, Katarína Hrušková
In our jargon, the somatic exhibition was called svät. Svät took place at the turning point of time and space, embedded in and at the same time separated from the world ruled by time, space, meaning, and significance. Entering the exhibition was a ritualized transition between the world and the svät, between two different dimensions of the same reality. Pilgrims were torn from their everyday lives and thrown into a sacred space-time, where their derailed minds were exposed to events that were unheard of outside.
Ana de Almeida
For over a century, the factory in Střekov has influenced the structure of the city and the quality of life of its inhabitants. During the period of industrial development, Johann Schicht and his descendants built civic amenities in the city – a health center, spas, nurseries, a library, and residential buildings for their workers. After the company was nationalized, production continued and continued to employ a large number of newly settled residents. The national company Setuza also brought its employees together and enabled them to participate in "extracurricular activities," primarily in events organized by the Revolutionary Trade Union Movement, which included the organization of International Women's Day celebrations, St. Nicholas Day gifts, and children's camps.
