Folk traditions have dug their claws deep beneath the skin of the cultural landscape and into us ourselves. They survive in patterns of behavior, gestures, rituals, power structures, and fairy-tale narratives that we pass down from generation to generation. The exhibition The Rite of Spring turns its attention to folklore as a collection of archetypal forms, customs, and images that have historically shaped society’s collective identity. In the works of these artists, tradition is not an object of admiration, romantic nostalgia, or aesthetic exploitation, but a space of tension where memory mingles with pretense, poetry with anxiety, and protection with violence. Behind the sacred order lie the pressure of norms and hidden traumas that we have grown accustomed to overlooking because “that’s just how it’s always been done.” The exhibition’s title, referencing Igor Stravinsky’s famous composition, simultaneously emphasizes a period of transformation. A pagan ritual celebrating the rebirth of nature becomes a metaphor. The exhibition thus opens up a space for the imagination, where tradition can be critically reevaluated, whether through subversive gestures or subtle humor.

curator: Martina Mrázová

The exhibition will run from April 10 to May 17, 2026.
