Annotation

KUUMŠT is a week full of cultural content that broadens the horizons of both students and the public, opens up an insight into the artistic environment and creates a foundation for new relationships independent of university affiliation or department.

In the zero year of KUUMŠT, we unite as students of FAD STU, VŠMU and AFAD and bring a diverse program from discussions to workshops to an informal music program in the form of AVANT. Together, we are looking for breakthroughs, thanks to which we can create a stronger, more resilient community of art studies and possible cooperation.

 

In the 1920s, the students of the School of Arts and Crafts organized an event in the Bauhaus style, combining masquerade ball, craft and theater into one avant-garde evening called AVANT. We referred to this tradition in the parties of the same name, which gradually grew in size until they grew into KUUMŠT, which unites not only architects and designers, but also artists, musicians and theater artists, who were always inseparable and formed a single community.

 

Artistic souls were always close to each other. For generations, not only as students, we meet in cafes, at discussions, at screenings, exhibitions, beanies and other events. Depresso, Doska, PKO, Ružová Cvernovka, Kotolňa na FAD, you name it.

We have felt for a long time that Archibeanias are legendary parties, but they lacked depth. In recent years, we have informally invited friends from AFAD and VŠMU to these events. This resulted in a week of discussions, film and theater performances, exhibitions and a joint performance-musical avant-garde evening called AVANT, borrowed from the more than 100-year-old School of Arts and Crafts event.

Now we unite purposefully and, as students of these schools, bring the name KUUMŠT to this week-long cultural event. KUUMŠT as art, KUUMŠT as a connection, KUUMŠT as a mini-festival of cultural art students (for now) in Bratislava, ending with AVANT - a music-performative evening full of unexpected events.

 

The academic environment has always been a place of freedom, curiosity and initiative. This is what we want to build KUUMŠT as well. Come and get to know your cultural and artistic colleagues with us!
