FALL. IN LOVE WITH STORIES
FALL festival at the DOX Centre for Contemporary Art in Prague brings together writers, poets, visual artists, and other creative minds working across different genres to discuss and celebrate the power of literature, storytelling, art, and our need for empathy in the digital age.
Manifold challenges keep testing our human limits today. Quickly evolving technologies, climate-related changes, disrupted social relations due to social media expansion and the COVID pandemic, and recently also the war in Europe – all of these are generating unprecedented pressures and changing the paradigms of our daily existence. FALL is an opportunity to slow down, listen, discover, and share. To see the world – at least for a moment – through the eyes of others. To step into their shoes – and their stories. To reflect and discuss why stories are important and how they can bring us closer together, how art can change our perspectives and sometimes even our lives. To ask if and how art, literature, imagination, and empathy help us form human bonds and how the advances of our impending artificially intelligent future prompt us to reflect on what makes us human.
Discussions, talks, readings. Meetings with authors, experts, and artists. Interdisciplinary workshops and guided tours of exhibitions. Ideas. Experiences. Discoveries.Welcome, join us, and FALL in love with stories.
DOX. MUSEUM ON A MISSION
The DOX Centre for Contemporary Art is a place where art transforms everyday experience. It was established through a private initiative when a former factory in Prague’s Holešovice neighbourhood was turned into the largest space dedicated to contemporary art in the Czech Republic.
Since 2008, its mission has been to create and sustain a space for the exploration, discussion, and presentation of art that reflects important questions that shape our society. Visual art, literature, the performing arts, and other disciplines enable here a critical approach to the so-called reality of today´s world. The exhibition space of over 3000 m2 is complemented by the DOX+ Multifunctional Hall, the Gulliver Airship, the Fine Art Archive, a bookstore, and a design shop.
