- **Event Name**: GROTESK - THE COMMON LANGUAGE OF EASTERN EUROPE
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 08 Nov, 2025 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: // Slovenskú verziu nájdete nižšie. //

Eastern Europe has been a geopolitical buffer zone for centuries, and as a result the people who live here have had to learn to communicate by reading between the lines and laughing at their own impossible situations, which has given rise to an unmistakably unique way of expression, the Eastern European grotesque. Rather than focusing on the differences between the many peoples across the region, and on the East–West divide that has been left forgotten behind from the Cold War and is becoming less and less relevant with globalization, the G.R.O.T.E.S.K photo project is drawing attention to what connects us, our common values, by showing the best absurd photographs from Eastern Europe, through this publication and exhibitions in Czechia, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary in 2025!

G.R.O.T.E.S.K project is realized in the collaboration of Summa Artium (Budapest, Hungary), Fotofestiwal (Łódź, Poland), Fotograf Zone (Prague, Czech Republic) and OFF Bratislava (Bratislava, Slovakia).

Photographers: Csilla Klenyánszki, Hórusz Archive (Sándor Kardos) Éva Szombat, László Török, Zsuzsi Ujj, Oskar Helcel, Dita Pepe, Iren Stehli, Andrej Balco, Martin Kollár, Zuzana Pustaiová, Viktor Šelesták, Zbigniew Libera, Natalia LL, Rafał Milach, Agnieszka Sejud, Mihai Barabancea, Tamás Hajdu, Alexander Chekmenev, Julie Poly

The project is co-financed by the governments of Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia through Visegrad Grants from the International Visegrad Fund. The mission of the fund is to advance ideas for sustainable regional cooperation in Central Europe.

______________

Východná Európa bola po stáročia geopolitickou nárazníkovou zónou. Ľudia, ktorí tu žijú, sa preto museli naučiť komunikovať medzi riadkami a smiať sa na vlastných bezvýchodiskových situáciách. Práve z tejto skúsenosti vyrástol nezameniteľný spôsob vyjadrovania: východoeurópska groteska. Namiesto zdôrazňovania rozdielov medzi národmi tohto regiónu či zotrvávania v dichotómii Východ – Západ, ktorá je dedičstvom studenej vojny a v čase globalizácie čoraz viac stráca význam, fotografický projekt 

G.R.O.T.E.S.K upriamuje pozornosť na to, čo nás spája, na naše spoločné hodnoty. Sprostredkúva ich prostredníctvom tejto publikácie a výstav, ktoré sa v roku 2025 uskutočnia v Česku, na Slovensku, v Poľsku a Maďarsku. Spoločne prinášajú výber toho najlepšieho z absurdnej fotografie východnej Európy.

Projekt je spolufinancovaný vládami Česka, Maďarska, Poľska a Slovenska prostredníctvom grantov V4 z Medzinárodného vyšehradského fondu. Poslaním fondu je podporovať myšlienky trvalo udržateľnej regionálnej spolupráce v strednej Európe.
