The international project Virtual Biennale Prague, which is based on the principles of non-verbal and inter-cultural communication, will be presented. The project is a good example of incorporating an educational aspect into artistic practice through the confrontation and exhibition of artworks.
It was the theme of identity that became the core of the workshops that took place under the leadership of Lenka Sýkorová, Viktor Čech and Tereza Nováková in Autumn 2018, in China at three Chinese Academies of Fine Art (Shandong University in Jinan, Hebei Academy of Fine Arts and Shanxi University in Taiyuan) in connection with the Virtual Biennial Prague project. The output format was posters on the theme of national identity. The selection of the posters on display came from many consultations and mutual knowledge of our European-Czech identity compared with Asian-Chinese. In the end, we have come to know that the very core of identity, and that is humanity, connects us all. The Altán Klamovka Gallery is now a unique opportunity to see this collection of posters created by Chinese students.
