Film: AFAD and Visions
We present to you (for now) the last episode of the film series, which we prepared on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of our school in cooperation with the director Soňa Maletz. Through these short films, we want to show you not only the inner workings of the AFAD, but also the topics that interest us in terms of student assignments, in artistic and scientific research, as well as the values that we try to uphold at the school.
AFAD and Visions
This year, we conclude our series with the sixth film titled AFAD and Visions, in which our teachers look to the future. Not only do they work with the cutting-edge technologies, utopias, in scientific and artistic laboratories, but they also think as artists, restorers, architects, and designers about what will be left behind us. Through our sixth film, you can learn more about their creative and pedagogical visions, which are an essential part of our school and art education.
"We should somehow overcome hierarchies or conventional binaries and we can overcome them by trying to incorporate more agents, there are other organisms that live with us, other elements, etc., with which we should interact or discuss more."
Danica Pišteková (teacher, Architecture)
"We try to look at technologies critically. For me personally, it is important to believe that technologies have a humanizing potential, i.e. they contribute to a better future, even if there is a bit of a utopian view, because at the same time, technologies in the wrong hands can have negative consequences."
Ján Šicko (teacher, Visual communication)
Two more short films are in preparation, which we will publish early next year.
Thank you for watching us!
