- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: January 24, 2017, 19:00 – 21:00
Czechoslovak evening dedicated to an encounter between well-known campaigners to enliven public spaces in Prague and Bratislava.
The name of café owner Ondřej Kobza is associated with projects such as the Poeziomat poetry machine, pianos in the streets, train station tangos and public chess tables.
Gábor Bindics is the founder of the Centre Dunaj Culture, the Švihaj Šuhaj bike service and the Old Market Alliance, which is Bratislava’s largest municipal arts project.
Where do the two gentlemen draw inspiration? What problems do their plans and projects run up against? Alongside applause and enthusiasm their ideas are met with indignation and controversy. Is that hard to take? And how much do their capital cities differ, and what do they have in common?
The evening’s host Osamu Okamura will discuss those issues and more with the guests. Further debate welcome…
