In one of the oldest buildings in Brno, the Old Town Hall, many stories and urban legends are hidden. The Town Hall once served as the seat of municipal offices, an archive, a court, and even a prison. Today, its premises are home to the TIC Gallery, the tourist information center, and also the Club of Brno City Councilors. The Club is frequented by hundreds of people who use its facilities for various purposes.
What happens in the building after the daytime noise fades?
What sounds can be heard in the empty halls, and who walks through them when no one is around?

What if a public parking lot became a place for celebration, imagination, and care?
For one day, a parking lot hidden under Nusle Bridge, at the corner of Oldřichova and Svatoplukova streets, was transformed into a space for collective dreaming.
This participatory, performative installation is part of an ongoing doctoral research project exploring how fiction can help reimagine and heal urban public spaces, while strengthening their communal potential. It follows the artistic project Whisper in the Valley, an interactive audio walk that used the fiction of a fairy cloak to uncover hidden stories of the Nusle Valley.
The fairy cloak has its own magic – through its voice and song, it transforms forgotten places into vibrant communal spaces.
he installation is also part of the development of an upcoming illustrated book, The Fairy Cloak, which tells fictional stories about specific places and buildings in the valley. The book embraces a community-based approach, inviting local residents to co-create its narratives.

An immersive audio walk and performance set around Vyšehrad metro station and Nusle Bridge gradually reveals the secrets, legends, and identity of this space through the fiction of the fairy cloak. The Nusle Valley, with its iconic bridge, becomes the stage for a performative shared experience and imagination that blends historical and fictional narratives, weaving together reality and myth. What do we discover when we view the space through the eyes of a tourist or follow a romantic date unfolding in this vulnerable environment?
Whisper in the Valley explores the performative qualities of public transit spaces, offering a different perspective on a place marked by trauma. Through fiction and performance, it aims to highlight the care and our new connection to the space that has been deeply marked by the physical, urban impact of Nusle Bridge, as well as by its psychological and social implications. The Nusle’s bridge which connects the city, it is also a site of personal loss and various transformations, its presence linked to many suicides and social changes that have left an indelible mark on the valley.
The walk was enriched by original music, field recordings, and costumes that amplify the narrative and stimulate the audience's imagination and interpretation of story.

The performance was part of the student project called Radio Křoví (Radio Bush) realized in Hradec Králové. The fictive story and author’s performance called The Superheroine from the Palm Garden revived the building designed by famous Czech modern architect Jan Kotěra and its surrounding park through guerrilla gardening. The performance narrated the forgotten stories of the Palm Garden building, which was originally a multifunctional hall with a cinema and palm trees—a symbol of the cultural life of Hradec Králové and gathering place for its residents. After privatization, the building transformed into a casino, where greenery and cultural activities were replaced by gold-plated decorations, gambling, and cold lights.
The narrator of the story and performer is the sculpture on the building’s facade — the superheroine Gardener. Her unique superpower lies in caring for plants and the ability to hear them. Through this, she offers a new perspective on traditional superhero abilities: instead of fighting and destruction, she uses her powers to protect and nurture greenery, emphasizing the importance of ecological aspects of gardening and the care for urban green spaces.

Radio KŘOVÍ is a creature that speaks and captures individual phenomena of the urban organism, revealing them through reports, songs, performances, interviews, events, and tangible works in the public space of Hradec Králové. The project was carried out by the Studio of Fine Arts 1 at UMPRUM. Following a pre-prepared script, KŘOVÍ visited thematically significant locations and, using QR codes linked to its live 24-hour radio broadcast, introduced listeners to places that are intriguing, overlooked, or problematic. KŘOVÍ revitalizes urban spaces and invites people to discover and inhabit them.
