31. 8 - 30. 9. The Ora Et Lege project focuses on text as a space for polyphony. The exhibition inspired by the poet of the 18th century with a new one (1722–1801) deals with the text as a visual, performative and sound work at the same time. This Armenian poet, living and forming in Georgia, was a favorite of King Erekle II. and wrote at the same time in the corresponding script in several languages. His poetry was exceptional for his time - it sounded, read and looked different - and created an inter -religious and intercultural dialogue directly on paper. The exhibition brings together artists who examine the political and social aspects of polyphony and its importance nowadays. Prague, Swiss Arts Council for Helvetia and Benetheo Foundation. The program partners are Ovenecká 33, Prague Art Week and the Embassy of Switzerland in the Czech Republic.
