Mycelium Litvínov
A SPACE FOR SHARED CULTURE IN THE LIBUŠE COMMUNITY CENTER IN LITVÍNOV
The Mycelium (which translates as Podhoubí in Czech) initiative was created with the aim of supporting the community in the Janov neighborhood of Litvínov and expanding its emerging solidary network for sharing time, experience, and resources to which not everyone has equal access. The venue for the project will be the Libuše socio-cultural center in Litvínov, which supports the long-term development of community life for the residents of Janov. In the framework of getting to know each other, building trust, and finding the boundaries of dialogue, free creative workshops and activities open to all locals and visitors will take place in the Libuše center and its surroundings throughout September 2021. The creators of the project are artist Bára Bažantová and anthropologist Lenka Podroužek Polčová.
Program
You will find the current program of events posted at the venue in the Libuše villa.
