First Guided Tour | Not Without Joy
What is the key to choosing the artists represented at the Not Without Joy exhibition? Why is the question of Blackness the main theme of the whole exhibition? And why is a concert performance of a composition for four pianos included in the current accompanying program of the gallery?
We invite you to the first guided tour of the exhibition Not Without Joy with its curator and Galerie Rudolfinum director Petr Nedoma on Saturday, November 20 from 6:00 pm. Admission is free. The tour will be held in Czech.
The guided tour is followed at 7:30 pm by a concert performance of the composition Crazy Nigger* by Julius Eastman in Dvořák Hall. The concert is organized by the Czech Philharmonic and Galerie Rudolfinum within the exhibition Not Without Joy. Tickets can be purchased online here, in case of free capacity at the gallery box office in the Rudolfinum hall and at the box office of the Czech Philharmonic.

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. Read more here.
Before visiting Rudolfinum, please read the current hygienic rules. Participation in the concert and guided tour 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.
*This is the original title of the composer. Julius Eastman deliberately exposed the term as racist, drawing the attention of non-black people in particular to structural racism and verbal violence. We therefore decided to write out Eastman’s original title in the context of the performance of his works.
