The exhibition Shared Existence explores art as a way of creating new interpersonal connections, knowledge, and understanding through works based on shared experience and collective practice. Under what conditions can art become a tool for strengthening human relationships, for informal education, for exploring what we hold in common, or even as a catalyst for change?
The exhibition presents newly created artworks, the outcomes of art–research projects by Czech and international artists, as well as reflections on past realizations. These works highlight different forms of collective and socially engaged art, pointing to both its possibilities and its limits. At the center of attention is collaboration with local communities and urgent social themes resonating in the context of Central Europe. These are observed from multiple perspectives, which may serve as a key to transcending one’s individuality, gaining new insights, and experiencing the surrounding world more profoundly.
