place: Prague

The festival explored Prague’s southern border — a peripheral area on the verge of significant urban transformation. The long-awaited construction of Metro D will undoubtedly benefit the area, bringing the periphery closer to the city centre and improving accessibility to Prague’s southern districts. As transport connections improve and distances shrink, new development projects are already emerging alongside these changes.
But what might transformation look like if the youngest generation were invited to imagine the future of their city? What kinds of creatures would inhabit it, and how might urban life evolve? During a three-day creative workshop, students from the Meteorologická Primary School developed alternative narratives in response to the anticipated changes in their neighbourhood. A main stage was designed for the festival’s social programme, and together with curators Eliška Malková and Lynda Zein, we organised an exhibition of the children’s works created during the workshop.
