Two May Saturdays will bring Czech culture and history to Belgium: the first one celebrates the anniversary of 1989 and first democratic elections at a mini-festival of democracy in the House of European History. The second brings humans, robots, and visions of the Czech writer Karel Čapek together for a very fun afternoon in Liège!
3 weeks ahead of the elections to the European Parliament and 30 years after the Polish free elections of 1989 and the revolutions in Central and Eastern Europe, House of European History offers a new perspective through thematic guided tours, sharing of testimonies and creative workshops on democracy, as well as artistic guided visits for families and activities for kids.
Czech theatre Divadlo Archa prepared creative interventions to the permanent exhibition where the public will be actors as well as outdoor activities (starting at 11am). Karel Janeček will take part in conference called "Elections, Cornerstone or Achille’s Heel of Democracy?" Find the full programme here. Coorganized with EUNIC in Brussels.

Miro Švolík: Homage to All My Inspirations |
| |
"Is Miro Svolik (b. 1960) a poet? A photographer? A graphic designer? A director? In his early work, tiny people swarm across the focal plane in burlesque or surreal settings - Svolik arranged men and women as though on a sheet of drawing paper, found a bird's eye view for his camera and clicked away." states the introduction by Eric Min to 'The World as a Stage, Miro Svolik and How Geometry and Sex are Related' dedicated to this well-known Slovak New Wave photographer, currently on display in Antwerp.
