As part of the 17 November celebrations in the Czech Republic, we are recording a special live podcast focusing on the connection between culture and social engagement. The discussion will deal with how cultural figures from the literary and theater scene contribute to political and social discourse.
Our distinguished guests from the Czech and Slovak cultural scene will share their views on the role of culture in shaping public opinion, solving political issues and involving emotions and working with information in their work. We will look at how art, music and performance affect society, especially in times of political uncertainty and social change.
Guests: Anna Stránská, cultural manager and intendant of HaDivadl, and Michal Hvorecký, writer and publicist
Hosts: Andrea Michalcová and Veronika Víchová, Center for an Informed Society
Location and Time: The New Stage of the National Theatre, November 17, 2024, 5:30 p.m. – 6:15 p.m.
The podcast is recorded with the support of Eurodesk Czech Republic and Czech National Agency for International Education and Research.
