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.
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.
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.
GHMP plans its long-term exhibition programme with an emphasis on thematic projects that reflect current interpretations of art history. These include, for example, upcoming monographic exhibitions of Jaroslav Čermák and Milada Schmidtová, as well as a project focusing on the art of the 1990s and the activities of the Bezhlavý jezdec (Headless Horseman) group.
