Truth × Care: How is Life for Children and Parents in Prague?

A city that is more welcoming to different groups of residents is an idea that has been discussed frequently in recent years. For this reason, an interdisciplinary team has prepared an exhibition for the VI PER gallery that focuses on the lives of young children and their parents in Prague. How do they get around and where do they go? Where do they feel comfortable and where do they feel uncomfortable? Is the city for everyone?

The topics that emerged from the survey were processed by a collective consisting of Alžběta Brůhová (architect), Klára Brůhová (architectural historian), Karina Hoření (sociologist), Adéla Pečlová (architect), and Jakub Plachý (illustrator).

The exhibition is an analysis, but also a materialized commentary on the theme of space that is here for everyone. You can walk or run freely through the exhibition, let yourself be guided by a game (based on the principle of Ludo), or you can just relax or play. If you need to change your baby's diaper, breastfeed, prepare milk, or heat up a snack, the exhibition space offers facilities for this. For several weeks, the gallery's playground will bring to life the idea of a city that is more open to everyone.

Truth × Care: How is Life for Children and Parents in Prague?
Welcome to Oikos. Oikos is a house that breathes and hums. Branches grow through it, which, together with its inhabitants, keep the house running. Giants, bald mermaids, shape-shifters, crows with anthracite cloaks, Johan, inseparable twins, Erlenah, who locks the door with a chain, Ama, who knows all kinds of medicinal plants, Pragma, with problems well hidden under the carpet, Tarván with two fish tails, but also Diamon, a monster who takes on the form of our worst anxieties and fears. Alma, the author of this exhibition and book, also lives there.
