Preparing for the Future and a discussion with curator Lenka Dolanová, Tereza Dědinová, Tamás Kaszás, Martin Nawrath, Ruta Putramentaite and Barbora Trnková. We will discuss the presence of the climate crisis theme in contemporary art and culture, the relationship between visual art, literature and climate fiction, the importance of sharing stories and the therapeutic possibilities of art in dealing with climate grief. We will relate these themes directly to specific works in the exhibition during a subsequent guided tour.

TEREZA DĚDINOVÁ is an assistant professor at the Institute of Czech Literature at the Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University in Brno. She is the author of After the Strange Landscape. Fantastic Literature in Interdisciplinary Exploration (2017).

TAMÁŠ KASZÁS is an artist originally from Hungary. His themes include exploring the survival possibilities of economic, ecological and social crises, and he also thematizes folklore and forgotten folk traditions and skills. His gallery presentations take the form of large-scale installations combining various objects and materials. In his current exhibition in Brno, he exhibits the results of "self-anthropology", thematizing survival situations.

MARTIN NAWRATH is a facilitator and therapist. He studied biochemistry at Masaryk University in Brno. He provides individual and couple counselling and facilitation support to groups in the field of conflict resolution, strategic and community planning, especially in the context of environmental protection, territorial development, education, social welfare, etc. Recently, she has been working on the issue of climate crisis and environmental grief at individual and societal levels.

RUTA PUTRAMENTAITE studied photography at Middlesex University in London and subsequently graduated from the Sculpture Studio under Dominik Lang (now Free Art I) at UMPRUM in Prague. Her work has a strong sculptural background, but she also works with text, sound and performance. Through various methods, she assembles metal fragments, bones and parts of plants and soil into new compositions. Her installations clearly resonate with a post-humanist vision of the contemporary world. Drawing on a feminist approach of new materialism, she reflects on what it means to be a 21st century human trapped between accelerated technoscience and the dripping climate crisis.

BARBORA TRNKOVÁ is an artist, photographer, researcher and curator. She works from the position of glitch feminism, and also investigates artificial intelligence, which she perceives as a detector of the outcomes of imagination rooted in dominant subjectivity. Together with Tomáš Javůrek they work as "&" and on the metazoa.org platform, they started and curate ScreenSaverGallery. She is the curator of G99 of Brno House of Arts, where she curated the ongoing exhibition Your Addiction Is the Message.
