A ram with the head of Lenin, a duel between the snake Prahad and the knight Pentalot and a pop-up town in front of the parliament. The Jezevky Collective fights the housing crisis, inequality and global warming with playful performances that mobilise people across the political spectrum. What role does 'mischief' play in the actions of Jezevky and why is there a need to take artistic strategies outside the intellectual bubble of galleries? The guests of the fourth episode of the Raut podcast are representatives of the collective Jezevka Bestie (Badger Bestie) and Jezevka Mýval (Badger Raccoon).
Raut is an intersectional discussion podcast about contemporary art and culture produced by the tranzit.cz publishing house and initiative for contemporary art in collaboration with the online daily Alarm. The new series is moderated by Ester Grohová and Nela Pietrová and continues the debate on contemporary art from perspectives that might at first glance be unrelated to art or are on the margins of social discussion. The first series was released in 2021/22 and was moderated by Agáta Hrnčířová and Max Dvořák.
