Otvorená kultúra: hľadanie možných budúcností  ^SK

Open Culture: Searching for Possible Futures
Guests: Bohunka Koklesová, Adam Dragun, Alžbeta Lukáčová
Host: Verona Němcová from the Open Culture platform

The discussion will unfold in three thematic blocks – the present, the near future, and a strategic vision. Together with our invited guests, we will explore:

- what it means to remain in a position of dissent
- how to survive the next two years leading up to the 2027 elections
- and how to prepare for what comes after

Discussion participants:
Bohunka Koklesová – Rector of the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava, art historian, curator, and university lecturer, leading an institution that prepares the next generation of professionals in the cultural field.
Adam Dragun – Musician from the punk band Berlin Manson, theatre director, and performer active in the independent theatre and music scene.
Alžbeta Lukáčová – Ethnomusicologist working at the State Opera in Banská Bystrica, folklorist, and expert in traditional musical culture.

The discussion will be hosted by Verona Němcová from the Open Culture platform, which emerged as a spontaneous initiative to defend the cultural sector against unprofessional and authoritarian interference. Now, after more than a year of continuous effort, we ask: what’s next? 

Join us in collectively searching for possible futures.
