What might your project look like?

In 2024, it was test-supported The project of the same name realized by the Prague 3 City Hall in cooperation with the Nursing Home in Prague 3 and invited artists. In addition, the Atrium Cultural Center in Žižkov and Creative Prague became partners of the project. It was a project in which the statements of elderly women about the places where they lived most of their lives in Prague 3 were captured. These narratives were rewritten by contemporary writers and writers (Petra Hůlová, Petr Borkovec, Dominika Prejdová and others), and invited artists (Lela Geislerová, Jaromír 99, Vojtěch Šeda or Jindřich Janíček) captured the street or particular house. The resulting collaboration brought a new perspective to familiar places, and brought together communities in the streets of Žižkov.
