About event
War is no longer just news from afar, but a reality that is quietly reshaping our identity, language and ideas about the future. However, our readiness for it does not lie in militarization, but in building community "superpowers" and mental readiness for times of permanent crises. How does our identity change at the border of conflict? How to fight apathy or displacement? Is storytelling a tool to overcome paralysis?
Viktória Citráková, artist and writer, accompanies the meeting. In his work, he explores the themes of collective vulnerability and personal mythologies. He is currently preparing a series of texts for the Slovak cultural and social portal Kapitál about how war transforms the identity of young people in Central and Eastern Europe.

She spent part of her childhood in Israel, where she lived for four years. In 2024, she returned to Israel as part of the Terrorism and Counter-Terrorism study program, during the ongoing war.
