Biennale Opening Weekend Day 3

Admission is free of charge

The program for Saturday, June 13 starts in the National Gallery with the inaugural collective reading of kroužek intersekce—a grassroots collective providing space for mutual learning and radical imagination.

The afternoon program is dedicated to a project by the StonyTellers collective at the third venue of the biennale—the Tusculum studio and residency center, which the cultural and artistic platform Petrohradská kolektiv has been developing since 2023 on the grounds of the historic Chittussi Hospital. The project “In the Garden” builds on the StonyTellers collective’s long-standing community practice. It involves a newly established vegetable garden that is part of the outdoor space at the Tusculum complex. As part of the third opening day of the biennale, Tusculum will host the first in a series of workshops which will take place here over the course of the biennale’s three-month program. The workshop will be followed by a happeningfeaturing food and music by the Warsaw-based collective GALAS, which is composed primarily of Ukrainian artists. The collective’s formation in response to the war can be seen as an intuitive response to involuntary displacement and separation.
