An accompanying programme to the exhibition of Dagmar Šubrtová From Heaven by Light to Earth with social anthropologist Radan Haluzík.


How did the river find Libeň and how did Libeň find the river...? An excursion about how the river first flowed and circled its way through the emerging city – whichever way it pleased, until it gave rise to the name Maniny. About how the city regulated and regulated it until it became Libeň and Rohan islands, which are not islands. About how the city wanted to make a river station on the river when it didn't need one and an Olympic Aquatics Stadium but didn't have the Olympics to go with it. A walk through nature that no one sees because it doesn't officially exist, yet it buds and grows and branches wildly upwards towards the light. When the river dances a tango with the city – two steps back, two steps forward – they mingle like yin and yang. You no longer know what is what and who is who. The Scape of the Tide is created.


Meet in front of the synagogue.
