"Eye-Catchers — Space for Art": A Photography Exhibition Exploring Lusatian Culture in Prague

This travelling exhibition, 'Eye-Catchers — Space for Art', showcases the work of seven artists whose photographs explore the atmosphere and cultural diversity of Lusatia. Presented within the Divadlo Na zábradlí foyer, it examines the role of theatre photography as an artistic language and fosters a dialogue between image, architecture, and audience.

The exhibition 'Eye-Catchers — Space for Art' draws inspiration from the culturally diverse region of Lusatia, where art serves as a bridge between history, the present, and the future. Through the photographs of seven artists, the exhibition aims to convey the atmosphere of the Lausitz Festival beyond the region's borders, highlighting theatre photography as an artistic medium in its own right. Presented in the foyer of Divadlo Na zábradlí in Prague, the exhibition creates a new context, initiating a dialogue between the images, the architectural space, and the audience. A special focus is placed on 'Empusion', an exhibition element illustrating the dynamics of cultural exchange between Lusatia and Central Europe, inspired by Olga Tokarczuk's novel. The opening event included a discussion reflecting on the significance of festivals as European meeting places and posing the question: 'What space does art need?'

Admission to the exhibition is free. It is located in the foyer of Divadlo Na zábradlí and is open Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
