SUMMARY:Astrachan (US) // Roksan Mandel (TR) // ÖKNÖ (CZ)
DESCRIPTION:Astrachan is the surname and solo project of Chicago-based musician Ben Astrachan\, whose boisterous and joyous rock-and-roll weaves together the artisanal folk of old masters like Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islam) with the shapeshifting indie of new-age acts like Daniel Romano. \nOn ‘Signs’ (slated for release on Happen Twice in October)\, Astrachan dips his ladle into a great borscht of mystical and political influence to serve up a kaleidoscopic brew of anti-Zionist\, Bundist\, diasporic indie rock\, self-produced in the candlelit haze of his all-analog basement-bedroom studio. ‘Signs’ is a hymnal to the madness of the Jewish prophets who railed against the follies of the Nation and were banished into spiritual wilderness. It deals with apocalypse in the original sense (revelation\, “un-covering”)\, and asks\, what does it mean to be conscripted in a cosmic war? How do we walk the tightrope of justice and peace? And when G-d winks at us through the veil\, are we ready to respond? \nIn addition to his eponymous solo project\, Astrachan lends his boyish charm and polytechnic abilities to his shared duos Berta Bigtoe (with Austin Koenigstein) and Astro Heart (with Ryan Gebhardt)\, as well as Smushie\, No Lonesome\, Pyzow!\, Rudy De Anda\, Butthole\, Shoulderbird and more. https://astrachan2.bandzoogle.com/https://linktr.ee/astrachanmusic \nThe evening will kick off with an opening by Roksan Mandel.Roksan Mandel is a Turkish pianist and vocalist based in Prague\, that blends jazz influences with soulful melodies in her original compositions and heartfelt renditions of Turkish pop/rock classics.Roksan Mandel links:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/4r08jgVRB7vnG64OoRRGv5…Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/roksanmandel/ \nThe night will finish off with ÖKNÖ – more info coming soon \nEntry/ VstupMusic from 21.hCash is best for entry fee.

SUMMARY:Shut Up & Write! ve Skauťáku
DESCRIPTION:Shut Up & Write! — a worldwide phenomenon. No matter\, if you’re sixteen or sixty\, come and join us on a writing adventure! Anyone’s welcome! You don’t have to be an established author. In fact\, you don’t have to be an author at all! Join our laid‐back group on a Sunday afternoon\, and work on anything you desire. A novel\, a short story\, a screenplay\, a diary entry\, a scientific paper\, a poem\, a recipe\, a blogpost\, or maybe just an urgent e‐mail? Whatever it is that’s on your mind\, we’re here to silently support your efforts. You’ll find us every Sunday at high noon in one of the café back rooms — usually the first one. We gather\, grab some refreshments\, and around 12:15 start a short introductory round. Then we — as expected — Shut Up & Write! We write in two 45‐minute blocks with about 15‐minute break in between to stretch\, resupply\, or visit the bathroom. Perfect for networking too! At the end\, we have a short wrap‐up loop. Sometimes we stay and chat a bit afterwards\, share news\, ideas\, fresh thoughts… But we’re usually done even with that by 3 pm latest. Of course\, you’re free to leave anytime! Started by a San Francisco based sci‐fi writer Rennie Saunders in 2007\, based on years of experience\, and joined by over 10\,000 writers in over 400 cities in more than 60 countries worldwide. Now in Prague! Come try the magic of writing in a company. The primary communication language is English\, but you can write anything you want\, in any language you prefer. No sharing\, no critique\, no stress\, completely free. Participants can be assisted in Czech if necessary. ~~~ Shut Up & Write! (Zmlkni a piš!) — celosvětový fenomén. Ať už je ti šestnáct nebo šedesát\, přijď a připoj se k našemu psacímu dobrodužství! Všichni jsou vítáni! Nemusíš být zavedený/á spisovatel/ka. Vlastně vůbec nemusíš být spisovatel/ka! Připoj se k naší uvolněné skupině během nedělního odpoledne a pracuj na čemkoliv se ti zachce. Román\, povídka\, scénář\, deníček\, vědecký článek\, báseň\, recept\, blog\, nebo třeba jen urgentní e‐mail? Ať už myslíš na cokoliv\, my tvé úsilí tiše podpoříme. Najdeš nás každou neděli v pravé poledne v jedné za zadních místností kavárny — obvykle té první. Sejdeme se\, dáme si něco dobrého\, a okolo 12:15 začneme krátké úvodní kolečko. Potom — dle očekávání — zmlkneme a píšeme! Píšeme ve dvou 45minutových blocích s přibližně 15minutovou pauzou uprostřed na protažení\, doplnění zásob\, nebo návštěvu toalet. Také je to skvělá příležitost pro navázání hovoru! Na konci pak máme krátké shrnutí. Občas se zdržíme a zabředneme do hovoru\, sdílíme novinky\, nápady\, čerstvé myšlenky… I tak ale býváme nejpozději kolem třetí hotovi se vším všudy. Můžeš ale samozřejmě odejít kdykoliv! Stvořeno sanfranciským autorem sci‐fi Rennie Saundersem v roce 2007\, založeno na letech zkušeností\, s více než 10 000 účastníky z více než 400 měst ve více než 60 zemích. Nyní i v Praze! Přijď zkusit kouzlo skupinového psaní. Primárním komunikačním jazykem je angličtina\, ale můžeš psát cokoliv chceš v jakémkoliv jazyce uznáš za vhodné. Žádné sdílení\, žádná kritika\, žádný stres\, zcela zdarma. A pokud je angličtina problém\, rádi ti pomůžeme i česky!

SUMMARY:Globe Creative Writing Group
DESCRIPTION:Globe Creative Writing Group was established in October of 2016. We meet weekly at the Globe Bookstore on Mondays from 19-21.  \nFeel free to come by and introduce yourself\, whether or not your facebook request has been acknowledged by us. We receive many requests\, and prefer to accept those we know will contribute later on. :). \nWe are an eclectic group composed of various writers practising a range of techniques. We’ve so far been writing short fiction\, poetry\, essays\, genre fiction\, experimental prose\, surrealism\, playwriting\, screenwriting\, non-fiction as well as long-term projects. \nThis group relies on and sustains itself through thoughtful and productive critique. During our meetings\, we discuss each member’s submission (should they choose to submit that week) in depth. \n At the end of each meeting\, a prompt is assigned that we will base our submissions for the next week on. Transcending the prompt\, of course\, is always possible. If you would like feedback on a long-term project or a submission that isn’t related to the prompt\, feel free to do so. \n \nRules and Guidelines for Submissions: \n-To ensure everyone can give\, and get\, quality critiques\, we will review no more than 8 submissions per week. \n-Please submit by Saturday at the latest. As many of us have jobs\, families\, holidays etc.\, we need ample time to give thoughtful feedback and criticism to each submission. If you submit later than the Saturday deadline\, don’t worry! We can save your work to critique the next week. \n-If you do submit\, please be present at the meeting that your work will be critiqued. If you cannot make it\, please let the group know via the Facebook group. If we take the time to critique\, we want to know that you will be there to accept feedback. Again\, if you cannot make it\, we will save your submission for the next week. \n-Please do not submit work that is longer than 1\,500 words. We want to make sure everyone receives ample time to discuss and is not overwhelmed by the amount of content they will need to read. Because of this\, please try to adhere to a no more than 1\,500-word standard. \n \nAI Disclaimer \nWriters: If you’ve used AI in your work\, please inform us and tell us to what extent you have used AI. \nCritiques: Please refrain from using AI to assist in your critiques. We are sharing our work with others because we want your perspective. \nPrompts are meant to be broad in order to maximize creativity. We have had long-term projects devised from simple prompts and continue to! It’s a way for us to break free of our comfort zones as writers. Don’t be afraid! \nAs a group\, we also encourage publishing work\, whether it be in Prague or outside. Feel free to post any publishing opportunities you think would fit the group or anyone in it. So far we have had several prize winners and magazine publications from group members. This group is fundamentally about encouragement! \nAny other questions\, please send us a message on Facebook 🙂 \nHappy writing!

Something you’ll actually want to keep. New skill unlocked!We’ll be with you the whole time. Ask a gazillion questions. Make a mess. Change your mind halfway through. That’s what workshops are for. We’re here to support you. \nYou’ll leave with a stack of prints\, a new skill\, and that very awesome feeling of: “I made this with my hands\, and it looks so cool!” \nWhat we’ll doDesign your motif (stuck? We’ll help you)Learn to carve: tools\, techniques\, and very solid safety tips (seriously\, even 7-year-olds have done this)Pull as many prints as you wantExperiment with color if you feel like it \nWhat’s included Everything. Lino block\, tools\, ink\, paper\, and an apron. All of it!Ready to make something cool?  \nBook your spot → https://www.fullspectrumworkshop.com/linocut-printing-fundamentals/?date=13.05 \nAdditional info Format: In-person workshop at Vlkova 23\, Prague Duration: 2–3 hours Maximum participants: 12 people Required equipment: All provided

SUMMARY:DOXYGEN: Mezi politikou a fantastickou (nad)realitou s Martinem Charvátem
DESCRIPTION:Čerstvá kulturní emulze pro mladé a čerstvé duchem od 16 do 30 let: trochu výstava\, trochu přednáška\, trochu experiment. A hlavně čerstvý kyslík.💫 Tentokrát s Martinem Charvátem ve výstavě HIT BY NEWS. \n👋🏻Martin Charvát působí na Metropolitní univerzitě Praha\, kde je vedoucím Centra pro studium mediální kultury. Publikoval řadu monografií a odborných článků. Před jeho přednáškou se společně podíváme do monumentální výstavy HIT BY NEWS. Konkrétní umělecká díla 20. a 21. století stopují napětí i symbiózu mezi přístupem umělců a skutečností vytištěnou v nejrůznějších médiích. \nPřednáška Martina Charváta se zaměří na dynamický vztah moderního umění a rodících se masmédií první poloviny 20. století. V období prudkého technologického rozvoje\, nástupu propagandy a proměny veřejného prostoru přestává být umění izolovanou sférou – vstupuje do novin\, manifestů\, plakátů\, filmu i rozhlasu. Na napětí mezi fascinací technikou\, politickým angažmá a únikem do obrazotvornosti budeme sledovat\, jak avantgarda osciluje mezi budováním nového světa a jeho ironickým zpochybněním. \nDOXYGEN jsou přednášky\, workshopy\, diskuze\, tvůrčí dílny a cokoliv mezi tím. Současné umění\, současné fenomény\, současné osobnosti a současný okamžik. Formát mladé generace sobě.❤️ \n📎 Vstupenky a více informací najdete na http://www.dox.cz/program/doxygen-mezi-politikou-a-fantastickou-nadrealitou-s-martinem-charvatem.

SUMMARY:Blood Meridian by Cormack McCarthy
DESCRIPTION:Set in the anarchic world opened up by America’s westward expansion\, Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy is an epic and potent account of the barbarous violence that man visits upon man. Through the hostile landscape of the Texas-Mexico border wanders the Kid\, a fourteen year-old Tennessean who is quickly swept up in the relentless tide of blood. But the apparent chaos is not without its order: while Americans hunt Indians – collecting scalps as their bloody trophies – they too are stalked as prey.

SUMMARY:The Bat
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, we explore one of improv’s most unusual and immersive formats: a show performed in darkness\, where story is created through voice\, sound\, silence\, and imagination. \nUsing voice\, sound effects\, silence\, rhythm\, and imagination\, we create stories the audience experiences internally. Rooms appear. Weather arrives. Footsteps approach. A single voice can become a character\, a memory\, or a threat. \nWe’ll work with the opening soundscape\, scene work inside the form\, and how multiple threads can emerge\, connect\, and transform. \nThe goal is to create something heard\, felt\, and imagined. \nIt’s a theatrical experience built in real time. \nSign up here: https://forms.gle/gdMPboCAyRQg7nxh9 \nPS: For those who have always wanted to learn “The Harold” this format has been described as a “loose Harold in the dark!” \nSunday\, May 17th\, 10AM to 5PM800 CZK Limited to 14 students

SUMMARY:Shut Up & Write! ve Skauťáku
DESCRIPTION:Shut Up & Write! — a worldwide phenomenon. No matter\, if you’re sixteen or sixty\, come and join us on a writing adventure! Anyone’s welcome! You don’t have to be an established author. In fact\, you don’t have to be an author at all! Join our laid‐back group on a Sunday afternoon\, and work on anything you desire. A novel\, a short story\, a screenplay\, a diary entry\, a scientific paper\, a poem\, a recipe\, a blogpost\, or maybe just an urgent e‐mail? Whatever it is that’s on your mind\, we’re here to silently support your efforts. You’ll find us every Sunday at high noon in one of the café back rooms — usually the first one. We gather\, grab some refreshments\, and around 12:15 start a short introductory round. Then we — as expected — Shut Up & Write! We write in two 45‐minute blocks with about 15‐minute break in between to stretch\, resupply\, or visit the bathroom. Perfect for networking too! At the end\, we have a short wrap‐up loop. Sometimes we stay and chat a bit afterwards\, share news\, ideas\, fresh thoughts… But we’re usually done even with that by 3 pm latest. Of course\, you’re free to leave anytime! Started by a San Francisco based sci‐fi writer Rennie Saunders in 2007\, based on years of experience\, and joined by over 10\,000 writers in over 400 cities in more than 60 countries worldwide. Now in Prague! Come try the magic of writing in a company. The primary communication language is English\, but you can write anything you want\, in any language you prefer. No sharing\, no critique\, no stress\, completely free. Participants can be assisted in Czech if necessary. ~~~ Shut Up & Write! (Zmlkni a piš!) — celosvětový fenomén. Ať už je ti šestnáct nebo šedesát\, přijď a připoj se k našemu psacímu dobrodužství! Všichni jsou vítáni! Nemusíš být zavedený/á spisovatel/ka. Vlastně vůbec nemusíš být spisovatel/ka! Připoj se k naší uvolněné skupině během nedělního odpoledne a pracuj na čemkoliv se ti zachce. Román\, povídka\, scénář\, deníček\, vědecký článek\, báseň\, recept\, blog\, nebo třeba jen urgentní e‐mail? Ať už myslíš na cokoliv\, my tvé úsilí tiše podpoříme. Najdeš nás každou neděli v pravé poledne v jedné za zadních místností kavárny — obvykle té první. Sejdeme se\, dáme si něco dobrého\, a okolo 12:15 začneme krátké úvodní kolečko. Potom — dle očekávání — zmlkneme a píšeme! Píšeme ve dvou 45minutových blocích s přibližně 15minutovou pauzou uprostřed na protažení\, doplnění zásob\, nebo návštěvu toalet. Také je to skvělá příležitost pro navázání hovoru! Na konci pak máme krátké shrnutí. Občas se zdržíme a zabředneme do hovoru\, sdílíme novinky\, nápady\, čerstvé myšlenky… I tak ale býváme nejpozději kolem třetí hotovi se vším všudy. Můžeš ale samozřejmě odejít kdykoliv! Stvořeno sanfranciským autorem sci‐fi Rennie Saundersem v roce 2007\, založeno na letech zkušeností\, s více než 10 000 účastníky z více než 400 měst ve více než 60 zemích. Nyní i v Praze! Přijď zkusit kouzlo skupinového psaní. Primárním komunikačním jazykem je angličtina\, ale můžeš psát cokoliv chceš v jakémkoliv jazyce uznáš za vhodné. Žádné sdílení\, žádná kritika\, žádný stres\, zcela zdarma. A pokud je angličtina problém\, rádi ti pomůžeme i česky!

SUMMARY:Punctum Film Club #5: DIY short films
DESCRIPTION:This edition of PFC presents short films with DIY approach to filmmaking: 01:26:54\, a collaboration between anarchist collectives from Thessaloniki; Momentument by Prague collective Object Paradise and director Tyko Say; and 23:23 (Život jedna báseň\, není peříčko) by Czech director Kateřina Dudová. \n23:23 (Život jedna báseň\, není peříčko\, 2024\, Prague\, Czechia)We all perceive poetry differently. For some\, a poem is a rhyming text\, for others a metaphysical experience. For director Kateřina Dudová\, it is an experiment with three people who are close to her\, whom she places in one room for three days\, leaving them to their fate with the task of writing a poem. Sometimes the recording of real events is more poetic than the poem itself. \n“I was given the task of making a ‘film poem’\, but I hate poems\, so I’m looking for something… the feeling I want to get from poetry\, how I feel. What is a poem?” – Kateřina Dudová23mins\, CZ with EN subsDirected by Kateřina Dudová \nOBJECT:PRAHA IV : Momentument (2025\, Prague\, Czechia)If you could paint a state of mind\, would that be art\, or just a moment? Momentument is a 30-minute documentary exploring public authorship through collective creation & curation where no one is an artist outside of the immediate moment. Set to the rhythm of the Žižkov underground\, the film is part of the OBJECT:PRAHA series which aims to celebrate the subjective experience in creating together through community happenings\, curations\, and media. 27mins\, ENDirected by Tyko Say \n01:26:54 (2007\, Thessaloniki\, Greece)Vasilis\, a fanatical film lover and sharp critic\, tries to convince his environment that Leni Riefenstahl\, the Third Reich’s filmmaker\, was an overrated\, talentless beast and not a great female pioneer of the 7th art. So he puts “Triumph of the Will”\, Riefenstahl’s landmark film\, under the microscope\, and tries to discover its aesthetic “errors”. Things take an unexpected turn when he discovers that at 1 hour 26 minutes and 54 seconds into the film… \nThis short film was initiated by a group of non-experts (mainly from Thessaloniki collectives Fabrica Yfanet\, Machina and +technia-) who were aware of their limitations in terms of filmmaking. We explored this new terrain during a collectively organized production of 01:26:54. Using only basic equipment and without asking for financial sponsors or permission we would like to believe that we have contributed a short motion picture to one of the most significant ventures of our times: the fight against the inevitability of absolute order and control.25mins\, GR with EN subs \nVoluntary entry (recommended 100-200) \nPunctum Film Club screens international films once a month that are creative\, artistic\, and evoke a strange feeling in the audience. Whenever possible\, the film screenings will be followed by a discussion with the creators of the film\, providing space for the audience to ask questions\, share their thoughts\, and understand the perspectives of the artists.

SUMMARY:Honoring William Luers
DESCRIPTION:Friend of the Czech Republic\, Václav Havel\, and many other Czech and Slovak fighters for democracy\, William Luers\, who passed away a year ago\, would have turned 97 on May 15th. During his more than thirty-year long diplomatic career\, Bill Luers held\, among other positions\, the positions of Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and US Ambassador to Venezuela. In the years 1986-1999\, he served as the president of the world-renowned Metropolitan Museum in New York City. \nBill Luers played a particularly significant role as the ambassador during President Reagan’s administration. With the help of his wife\, Wendy Luers\, he initiated a cultural diplomacy program which enabled the greatest American writers and artists of the era to visit Czechoslovakia. He made the intimate environment of the American Embassy residence into a place that fostered meetings and discussions between his American visitors and prominent Czech and Slovak opposition intellectuals. It was thanks to these meetings that a vast cultural front of support for persecuted Czechoslovakian dissidents was created in the United States. The Luers continued to support the Czechoslovakian democratic transformation even after November 1989. \nThese events and others unforgettable stories will be recounted and remembered by the Deputy Chief of Mission of the US Embassy in Prague\, David Wisner\, Michael Žantovský\, Alexandr Vondra (online)\, Martin Palouš (online)\, Cameron Munter\, Jolyon Naegele\, and\, in-person\, Wendy Luers. \nThe event will be conducted in English without interpretation.
