Labyrinth: Wandering Within

Exhibitions

Labyrinth – Structure, Maze and Metaphor. A place where wandering and searching for direction are accompanied by uncertainty, tension and fear, influencing the maze walker’s decision about which way to go. Every decision is crucial, because without Ariadne's thread, it is difficult to retrace our steps. What leads us to make decisions? Understanding the structure? Fear of uncertainty? Prague City Gallery presents this year’s edition of the Labyrinth project, subtitled Wandering Within which will take place from 1 April – 29 October 2026 at Troja Château.

Free National Gallery. Description of a Struggle.

After the 2023 elections, the new Slovak government appointed a nominee from the Slovak National Party to head the Ministry of Culture and the controlled destruction of cultural institutions began. The new cultural policy was not ideological but personnel-based and aimed against professionalism. What followed was beyond what we could have imagined. Prague City Gallery (GHMP) will present this event at the GHMP House of Photography with an unprecedented project on the borderline between an activist and documentary exhibition entitled Slobodná národná galéria. Popis jedného zápasu (Free National Gallery. Description of a Struggle) that will take place from 3 February – 29 March 2026.

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.

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.
