Dagmar Hochová: From Children to Democracy. Exhibition at the GHMP Dům fotografie (House of Photography) Reveals Unknown Faces of Renowned Photographer
The Prague City Gallery, in cooperation with the Moravian Gallery in Brno, presents an exhibition of the work of photographer Dagmar Hochová (1926–2012). The retrospective has been curated by Jiří Pátek and will be open to the public at the House of Photography from 7 October 2025 to 4 January 2026. Hochová is best known to the public as a ‘photographer of children’. However, her work is much more layered and explores a range of themes relating to both the personal and collective history of Czechoslovakia. The exhibition thus highlights new facets of this influential Czech photographer, who played a fundamental role in shaping domestic documentary photography.
