PARENT

Gallery in Olga's space in Strašnice, Prague welcomes its visitors in 2023 with the exhibition cycle PARENTAL. It is a loose continuation of the 2022 cycle DAUGHTERS SONS MOTHERS FATHERSwhich traced the transmission of artistic interest between two generations of family members. This time, we focus on the partnered pairs of male and female artists and emphasize gender equality in the upbringing of children and the related opportunity to actively pursue artistic practice. In the Olga Gallery we will let the partners play out an artistic dialogue.

In our opinion, the selected pairs of artists*artists represent a harmonious state of reconciled work and family life.

With the exhibition cycle PARENTING we want to contribute to the discussion on the issue of equal opportunities. The position of women and men on the labour market and in the family is a topic that has received a great deal of attention, especially in recent years. Despite this, we still find certain limits in society. Therefore, from our point of view, it is important to remind this disharmony not only in the Strašnice community. Everything starts in childhood - the division of colours, toys, fairy tale characters, school objects, etc. Such gender-oriented education then creates the conditions for the acceptance of stereotypes as something completely legitimate and natural, and becomes the basis for the unconscious widening of inequalities. For this reason too, the basic exhibition plan will be supplemented by year-round accompanying programmes with an educational concept.
