The exhibition UGLY BRNO WORLD TOUR: II presents a look back at a diverse world of nineties optimism, which together with a naive vision of a colorful capitalist future is irreversibly disappearing in an increasingly black and white reality of deepening inequalities and worldview gaps. It is also a cautionary case study and a lesson for other cities with a vulnerable legacy of post-socialist transformation, which, like Brno, often walk towards the tempting embrace of gentrification.
