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.
Isabelle Cornaro
In her work, Cornaro uses found objects imbued with symbolic potential or emotional value, which she presents in different types of display and media to reveal the subtle shifts of meaning provoked by processes of reproduction and translation.
Borrowed from domestic, decorative or functional contexts, these artefacts are often linked to Western culture as a means of power, their combination and arrangement in the artist’s work invites spectators to question the relationships between systems of representation and our understanding of the world.
