The title of the Summer School Becoming a Stone explores material time, geological processes, and the slow transformations that shape our planet. The program integrates artistic, philosophical, and ecological approaches to the question of how we can learn from stones—their resilience, endurance, and the way they record history within their structures. Through both online and offline lectures, artist talks, hands-on workshops, and field trip, participants will immerse themselves in deep time perspectives and geological narratives. They will reflect on ways humans can relate to mineral formations not merely as objects of study but as co-actors in a broader ecosystem. The program also raises critical questions about sustainability, extraction, and environmental responsibility in the context of the climate crisis. The Summer School deals with these questions from the perspective of contemporary art, so invited artists, curators, and theoreticians will engage in dialogue through their practice with the aforementioned themes.

This Summer School provides an interdisciplinary platform connecting artists, theorists, curators, and scientists who will collectively explore new ways of perceiving and understanding non-human perspectives through contemporary art.

The Summer School Becoming a Stone is organized and curated by Flóra Gadó and Tea Záchová in cooperation with Pragovka Gallery. It will run from 24th to 27th July, 2025, at the Pragovka Gallery space. Confirmed guests and speakers will be announced soon. Follow social media of Pragovka Gallery for the first names of the Summer School. 

Participants are responsible for their travel and accommodation costs.

For the Summer School, there is no participation fee. One meal (lunch) will be covered by the Summer School.

Application deadline: 18 May, 2025, 11:59 pm.

We will notify the accepted participants by the beginning of June.

Around 10–15 people will be selected by the two curators and members of Pragovka Gallery.

Název Summer School Becoming a Stone se zabývá hmotným časem, geologickými procesy a pomalými proměnami, které utvářejí naši planetu. Program spojuje umělecké, filozofické a ekologické přístupy k otázce, jak se můžeme učit od kamenů – jejich odolnosti, vytrvalosti a způsobu, jakým ve svých strukturách zaznamenávají historii. Prostřednictvím online i offline přednášek, rozhovorů s umělci, praktických workshopů a exkurze se účastníci ponoří do hlubokých časových perspektiv a geologických vyprávění. Zamyslí se nad způsoby, jakými se lidé mohou vztahovat k minerálním útvarům nejen jako ke studijním objektům, ale i jako spoluaktéři v širším ekosystému. Program rovněž nastoluje kritické otázky týkající se udržitelnosti, těžby a odpovědnosti za životní prostředí v kontextu klimatické krize. Summer School se těmito otázkami zabývá z perspektivy současného umění, takže pozvaní umělci, kurátoři a teoretici povedou prostřednictvím své praxe dialog s výše uvedenými tématy.

Summer School poskytuje mezioborovou platformu propojující umělce, teoretiky, kurátory a vědce, kteří budou společně zkoumat nové způsoby vnímání a chápání ne-lidských perspektiv prostřednictvím současného umění.

Summer School Becoming a Stone pořádají a kurátorsky vedou Flóra Gadó a Tea Záchová ve spolupráci s Pragovka Gallery. Proběhne od 24. do 27. července 2025 v prostorách Pragovka Gallery. Potvrzení hosté a řečníci budou brzy oznámeni. Sledujte sociální sítě Pragovka Gallery.

Účastníci si sami hradí náklady na cestu a ubytování.

Uzávěrka přihlášek: 18. května 2025, 23:59 hodin.
