Voice of America in the context of the bipolar world is the theme of the gathering held in connection with an exhibition dedicated to Ivan Medek, who was for many years a correspondent and contributor with Radio Free Europe, the BBC and other outlets.

The programme is linked to a repeat of an exhibition entitled Ivan Medek: A Sincerely Honest Gentleman, which the National Museum created in 2015 to mark the 90th anniversary of his birth. The exhibition can be viewed from 1.5 to 31.5 at the Church of St. Wenceslas in Smíchov.

Taking part in this discussion with historian Prokop Tomek will be one-time colleagues of Medek’s: Libor Rouček, who was later a deputy chairman of the European Parliament, and Jolyon Naegele, a former Voice of America and Radio Free Europe journalist.

Journalist Petr Brod will moderate.

Organised by the Václav Havel Library in cooperation with the American Spring festival.
