Short Description
The theme Mutual Benefits for Pragovka Gallery’s international exhibition program in 2026 offers an opportunity to reflect on the various forms collaboration, sharing, and reciprocity can take in today’s world — across art, society, nature, and technology.
We are interested in projects that explore reciprocity in natural systems — such as symbiosis, mutualism, and other models of coexistence and cooperation within ecosystems — and examine how these principles can be reflected in the context of climate crisis and ecological depletion. We welcome projects that deal with human relationships, collective processes, shared authorship, responsibility, care, and solidarity, as well as issues of participation and collective creation. We are also open to projects focusing on alternative economies — barter, gifting, community-based and circular models of value and resource sharing. The theme Mutual Benefits also includes broader ecosystems of cooperation across species and technologies, including questions of ethics, agency, and relationships with more-than-human actors. We are equally interested in the dynamics of collaboration between artists, curators, institutions, and audiences, and in approaches that reconsider cultural infrastructures as networks of mutual support.
The call is open to a wide range of approaches.
Eligibility
The open call is open to both Czech and international artists and curators.
