Who selects the recipients of these awards—and who, based on what merits? Can awards be given only by those in positions of power? The feminist art collective měkký í will develop a methodology for selecting nominees for the Order of the White Lioness award and will organize its ceremonial presentation on October 28.

měkký í is an art collective consisting of three visual artists: Michaela Kocandová, Zuzana Staňková, and Valentýna Vránová. Thematically, the group focuses on reflecting on the contemporary art scene and social events. It draws on the principles of intersectional feminism. Their works most often take the form of private or public happenings or performances. They enjoy using subtle, Saturnin-style humor.
