Summer School at Pragovka Gallery

Becoming an Octopus looks into imaginaries of water and fluidity. This year during the Summer School we will conduct a twofold exploration. Within the first part of the program, we will understand water not as a resource or capital, but as a vessel, site or environment for rest, story-telling, joy, curiosity and life. In the second part of the program, we look at fluidity as both a survival tactic and act of resistance within a rigid world.

Within the program we create space for experimental approaches that weave together multiple perspectives, ranging from art to philosophy, spirituality, post-capitalist theory, ecology, gender studies, and post-humanism. Through both online and offline lectures, artist talks, screenings, performances, hands-on workshops and field research, participants will immerse themselves into collective and embodied learning.

The Summer School is organized and curated by Julia Fidder and Tea Kříž. It will run between 10th and 11th July, 2026 at Pragovka Gallery.
