Annotation

Can an Individual Change Relationships in Society? Is it possible to achieve this without institutional support and financial backing? Does it even make sense to try? Is the situation abroad similar, or is it easier in some places? Kateřina Šedá, through examples of several participatory projects, will demonstrate how it is possible to actively involve the general public in the events around them and gradually influence their behavior.

Kateřina Šedá

is a Czech artist who focuses on socially-oriented actions involving broad public participation. Her experiments with interpersonal relationships aim to break participants out of routines and change their perspectives. She is the author of nearly fifty projects realized both in the Czech Republic and abroad and has received numerous awards for her work (Architect of the Year, Magnesia Litera for Journalism, Jindřich Chalupecký Award, Contemporary Art Society Award, Fluxus Award, Essl Award, and more).

The lecture is part of the KEGA project no. 006VŠVU-4/2024: Social Design – A Design Education Strategy in Relation to Current Social Challenges.
