Seminar Parliaments and Their Artists

On Tuesday, 11 November 2025, at 4:00 p.m., a historical seminar titled Parliaments and Their Artists will take place at the Institute of Contemporary History of the Czech Academy of Sciences (Komunardů 1634/44, Prague 7).

The event, organized by the Institute of Contemporary History of the Czech Academy of Sciences and the Office of the Chamber of Deputies, will explore the relationship between art and politics. It will focus on the work of Dagmar Hochová, a Czech photographer and politician, whose photographic series from the Czech National Council offers a unique insight into the birth of democratic institutions after 1989.

The speakers will include Tomáš Zahradníček and Adéla Gjuričová (Institute of Contemporary History of the Czech Academy of Sciences), Olga Šmejkalová (Archive of the Chamber of Deputies), and our colleague Dr. Jure Gašparič (Institute of Contemporary History, Ljubljana).

Participation is free of charge, but prior registration is required due to security procedures.
