Dana Balážová, Eva Brodská, Lucie Kralíková and Petr Švolba
The connecting element of the exhibition is the elemental life-giving element and magical symbol preserved for many ages - fire. A functional furnace and rising smoke will become the focal point of the exhibition. The shared experience of many a loud (or silent) prayer can be a connection to ancestors present, future and past in one precious time. In the gallery installation, tapestries, a moving image, and clumps of plants will come together, waiting to be burned in communal gatherings. The artists dedicate these to three themes: winning friendships, summoning rain, and divinatory and prophetic dreams.

Galerie Kontext will combine a screening of the Wild Wild Beast series, created by the collective D'epog feat. video artist Marie Šprincl, and an installation by set designer Matěj Sýkora in the gallery niches.
Jan Boháč
The foundation of Jan Boháč's artistic work is the theme of an accident or other dramatic event with the potential for catharsis. He compares the personal and intimate experience of a life-threatening borderline situation to the experience of a global accident in the form of facing current multi-crises. He sees a possible therapeutic process in modelling performative sessions on the borderline between the method of psychotherapeutic imagination and TTRPG (tabletop role-playing game).
The key moments of the exhibition are a series of participatory events where the audience is taken through a transformative situation of turning into a tree.
