Protests, Public Space and Civic Engagement. The Art of Activism exhibition at GHMP presents the first overview of activist art in the Czech Republic

Prague City Gallery showcases The Art of Activism, the first large-scale exhibition of activist and publicly engaged art in the Czech Republic. The Art of Activism features both Czech and international artists whose work responds to topics that have shaped social debate in recent decades. Through a wide range of forms, from documentary photographs and videos to installations and projects created directly for public spaces, visitors will learn about the strategies through which art enters into a dialogue about the role of public space, civic engagement and the transformations of democratic society. The exhibition has been prepared by curator Jitka Hlaváčková together with an international team and will be open to the public at GHMP Knihovna from 10 December 2025 to 8 March 2026. For the first day of the exhibition, Wednesday 10 December, GHMP is also preparing a rich programme for the International Human Rights Day in collaboration with Amnesty International and other partners, starting at 4 p.m.
