Rudo Prekop: The Underground – photographic portraits
- Where: Václav Havel Library, Ostrovní 13, Prague 110 00
- When: September 29, 2022, 19:00 – 21:00
Rudo Prekop worked for eight years on portraits and short biographies of figures from the unofficial arts scene, i.e., the underground, and their confrontation with the older and younger family line. He has managed to record conceptually and in pictures a community that is now unfortunately departing, creating an impressive “image gene pool” of the underground.
The book will be introduced by the author and launched by Dana Němcová and Jana Hlavsová.
Speakers will include publisher Jan Heller and editors who were involved in the original scene: Josef Moucha, Martin Machovec and František Stárek.
Eva Turnová will provide musical accompaniment.
Jáchym Topol will introduce and MC the evening.
