SUMMARY:kolektivní workshop: bez péče anarchismus nevyhraje
DESCRIPTION:na co nám jsou anarchistické prostory\, squaty a kolektivy\, pokud se lidé v nich cítí mizerně a osamocení? jak můžeme vůbec věřit\, že něco (z)měníme\, když se nedokážeme postarat ani o vlastní soudružsvo? \nje na čase vzít téma péče do seriózní diskuze: co to vlastně znamená “pečovat”? o koho\, o co?  jak  vytvářet pečující struktury? co se společně musíme odnaučovat? a jak to všechno dělat\, abychom měnily*i svět kolem sebe\, ne jenom nás jako individua? \nWS bude rozdělen na dvě části: v první se navzájem poznáme a pokecáme o textu “Community care relationship building combats burnout in political movements” (text je v angličtině\, ale je případně možné na místě zařídit překlad). \nve druhé části si prakticky vyzkoušíme proces kolektivní intervize (jedna ze struktur péče). \nbudeme mít prostor pro sdílení emocí v bezpečném prostředí a pouze tehdy\, pokud nám to bude komfortní. \npřijď i pokud se nepovažuješ za anarchistvo či nemáš zkušenosti\, ale téma tě zajímá! \npřines i nějakou chálku na sdílení! \ntechnické informace:\n– jídlo bude kdo co přinese\n– budou pauzy\n– WS bude na 4 hodiny\, ale je možné účastnit se pouze jedné či druhé části (druhá část začne v cca 17:15) a lze kdykoliv odejít/přijít\n– WS bude facilitován\n– prostor je bezbariérový\, ale na záchod je úzká chodba

SUMMARY:Punctum Theory Club | Olga Krasa-Ryabets: Non-places and experimental culture
DESCRIPTION:Punctum Theory Club presents:\nOlga Krasa-Ryabets\nNon-places and experimental culture: the urban apartment as site of creative intervention \nPunctum has been described as the “living room of culture\,” and it’s known for it’s location\, imbedded in one of Prague’s iconic vnitrobloks\, and for the sense of community it built over the years. This makes it an ideal setting for a lecture and workshop on the relationship between domestic space\, creativity\, and resistance. Drawing on over a decade of my own artistic practice in apartments in Amsterdam and Prague\, this session explores why homes and domestic interiors have long served as important sites for cultural production\, from the Middle Ages to contemporary experimental art. Philosophers and theorists such as Gaston Bachelard and Mark Turner have argued that the spaces we inhabit shape our sense of self: home is where identity is rehearsed\, stabilized\, and felt most intimately. Because domestic environments provide continuity and familiarity\, they help people maintain a coherent sense of who they are. At the same time\, when uncertainty or artistic intervention enters these spaces\, the home can become something else entirely: a threshold space outside ordinary social rules\, where new forms of imagination\, encounter\, and resistance become possible. Through examples from apartment theatre\, historical folklore\, and contemporary performance\, the lecture considers how ambiguity\, intimacy\, and atmosphere transform private space into a cultural laboratory. Participants will gain new perspectives on how environments shape identity and creativity\, while the workshop component invites them to reflect on and experiment with the hidden theatrical\, political\, and emotional potential of their own living spaces. This proposal is especially timely as cultural institutions increasingly seek more intimate\, participatory\, and community-based formats beyond conventional venues. \nAbout the lecturer: \nDr. Olga Krasa-Ryabets is a Canadian-Ukrainian theatre director and researcher based in Prague. She has been previously active at the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis (ASCA) and the Netherlands Institute for Cultural Analysis (NICA).\nOlga is the founder of the independent Centre for Aliative and Trivial Research (CenAR) where she has hosted events like the Symposium for Odd Research and created performances for over a decade. Her areas of interest include cognitive humanities and archeology of the everyday. Her most recent collaboration with the theoretical physicist Marek Liška explored the creation of imaginary black holes in urban apartments.\nShe holds a Theatre Specialist BA with Honours (University of Toronto)\, an MA in Alternative Theatre Directing and Puppetry (Academy of Performing Arts in Prague) and a PhD in Theatre Studies from the University of Amsterdam with a dissertation titled Secret Theatre: off-the-grid performance practices in socialist Poland and Czechoslovakia (2019). Most recently\, her work has been published in the Performance Research Journal and by Palgrave Press. \nhttp://www.aliatology.com \nLANGUAGE: English\nDOOR: 19:00 | LECTURE: 19:30\nENTRY by voluntary donations

SUMMARY:The Colombian Psychedelic Ecosystem: From Ancestral Wisdom to Underground Science
DESCRIPTION:Srdečně zveme na přednášku na Katedře filozofie a dějin přírodních věd\, která je zdarma přístupná také veřejnosti. \nFrom Ancestral Wisdom to Underground Science:\nColombia is a land of immense psychedelic and cultural diversity\, where Indigenous medicines\, natural and synthetic substances\, ancestral knowledge\, and contemporary scientific approaches coexist and intersect. This conversation invites us to explore Colombia’s complex psychedelic landscape from a transdisciplinary perspective\, bringing together Indigenous cosmogonies\, diverse practices and forms of knowledge\, and the emerging academic and civil psychedelic ecosystem\, while reflecting on their historical roots and possible futures. \nSebastián Iguarán is a psychologist and a master’s student in Transdisciplinary Studies in Health at Universidad Externado de Colombia\, focused on psychotherapy\, harm reduction\, and the therapeutic use of psychedelics. He is co-founder of Ciencias Psicodelicas and creator of Psicologo del Psiconauta\, initiatives dedicated to scientific outreach and psychoeducation.\nHis work integrates evidence-based methods with existential and intercultural approaches to promote ethical and culturally sensitive therapeutic processes.

SUMMARY:The Eleusinian Mysteries and the Psychedelic Hypothesis of Kykeon
DESCRIPTION:For nearly two millennia\, initiates travelled to Eleusis to participate in the Mysteries of Demeter and Persephone\, one of the most enduring initiatory traditions of the ancient Mediterranean. The sacrament was kykeon\, a ritual drink whose composition and possible role in the initiatory experience have remained the subject of fascination and debate. \nCould the kykeon have contained psychoactive compounds derived from ergot? And could such a preparation have contributed to the profound experiences described by the initiates? Drawing on ancient sources\, archaeology\, chemistry and contemporary psychedelic science\, this talk examines the evidence behind the psychedelic hypothesis of Eleusis\, as well as the questions that remain unresolved. \nYet even if the pharmacological mystery of the kykeon could be solved\, would the molecule alone explain the Mysteries? Perhaps the more interesting question is not only what was in the cup\, but what transformed the initiate. \nBio:\nIsis Rita Anzel Koutrouli is a preclinical researcher at the Psychedelic Research Center of the National Institute of Mental Health (NUDZ) in Prague and a final-year PhD candidate in Neurosciences at the 3rd Faculty of Medicine\, Charles University\, under the supervision of Dr. Tomáš Páleníček. Her research focuses on the therapeutic potential of psychedelic substances\, in preclinical models of substance use disorders\, combining behavioral pharmacology with molecular approaches.\nIsis is also one of the coordinators of the uniMIND Prague psychedelic community and academic journal club\, which is co-hosting this event.

SUMMARY:Games Studies Circle
DESCRIPTION:Mario is Mario is Mario is you. \nLearning games is sometimes notoriously fiddly. That is why harder games rely upon players’ knowledge of simpler games. This arguably goes so far as to produce a certain type of a person\, the — dreaded and allegedly perpetually angered — gamer. Ultimately\, we might find that not everyone feels at home when playing games. \nVideogames seem to be the most reliant upon pre-grown gamers. But is there an analogous construct in other types of games? Is it desirable to have alternatives to the gamer type? What does the person need to know and be able to do to engage with different types of games? How does the playing/gaming affect those engaging in it? We will be exploring potential ways of answering all these questions. \nOur discussion will be centred around the fourth chapter of Stephanie Boluk’s and Patrick LeMieux’ Metagaming: Playing\, Competing\, Spectating\, Cheating\, Trading\, Making\, and Breaking Videogames. We will present the material for the discussion but you are welcome to read the chapter beforehand. \nLocation: Nerd Alert\, Bulharská 924/26 101 00 Praha 10 – Vršovice

SUMMARY:Metaphysics\, Philosophy & Psychedelics
DESCRIPTION:Twenty-first century psychedelic therapy is developing at a fast pace. Yet much of psychedelic experience is untouched by therapists as they have no training in metaphysics: the study of reality in terms of concepts relating to both matter and mind\, and more. The Royal College of Psychiatrists has recently endorsed the need for metaphysics in psychedelic therapy\, citing the work of the speaker – not only to fathom the nature of such experiences\, but also to uncover possible metaphysical biases of the therapist that could have an effect upon practice. To integrate psychedelic-induced metaphysical experiences requires recourse to metaphysics. In this talk\, Dr Sjöstedt-Hughes will offer an outline of what this means and how it may be applied. \nBio \nDr Peter Sjöstedt-Hughes is a Philosopher of Mind and Metaphysics who specializes in fields pertaining to panpsychism\, pantheism\, idealism\, mental causation\, and altered states of consciousness. Peter is a lecturer at The University of Exeter where he is a founder of EPIC – the Exeter Psychedelic Interdisciplinary Centre – and developer of its postgraduate courses in Psychedelics: Mind\, Medicine\, and Culture. He is co-director of Europe’s largest psychedelics conference\, Breaking Convention\, and the author of Noumenautics (2015)\, Modes of Sentience (2021)\, co-editor and contributor of Philosophy and Psychedelics(2022)\, Breaking Convention: Musings and Meditations on Psychedelia (2025)\, and author of Bloomsbury’s forthcoming book\,The Psychedelics Manual: Metaphysics and Meaning\, alongside numerous articles. As well as the TEDx Talker on ‘psychedelics and consciousness’\, and speaker on the BBC’s show ‘The Trip’\, Peter is an inspiration to the recreation of inhuman philosopher Marvel Superhero\, Karnak.
