Exhibition Not Without Joy is the first fundamental attempt at introducing the Czech public to work by artists who authentically live and reflect on highly diverse life situations, questions and issues whose importance far exceeds that of local and individual consideration. The specific life and personal stories that formed each artwork may be seen individually, but they may also be generalised to the level of metaphors or symbols of certain key issues that lie in the foundations of unresolved current and past traumas existing at the very least between Africa, Europe and the US.

Before visiting the gallery, please read the current hygienic rules. Participation in the exhibition opening is only possible upon presentation of a certificate of completed vaccination against Covid-19, a valid antigen or PCR test or a certificate of suffering Covid-19 in the past.
