Women of AFAD: Zuzana Machatová
After the last episode with one of the first restoration graduates, Dana Salamonová, this week we bring you another interview about restoration, but with the current AFAD pedagogue Zuzana Machatová.
In addition to her studies and doctorate at the AFAD, Zuzana Machatová also completed doctoral studies at the faculty of Chemistry and Technology of the Slovak Technical University, which gave her a broad foundation in the field of restoration. She further utilizes her education and experience in teaching activities at the Department of Restoration at the AFAD. They talked with Zuzana Golianová about the current situation, about our department, as well as about the possibilities of professional education in this area. What equipment, what requirements and study content await all those who choose this field? How does she evaluate her position as a woman in this, until recently, male field, as well as her other colleagues? Can restoration work be considered as creation and where are the limits of the artistic interpretation of the work by the restorer?
Women of AFAD: Women about work, practice and things that matter is a series of podcasts that we prepared on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the AFAD in cooperation with Zuzana Golianová. Every Tuesday throughout October and November, you can look forward to a new interview with one of our school's former and current pedagogues, who reflect on the history and development of the AFAD through the eyes of women.
