55 Years Since the Prague Spring Was Put Down

On August 21, 1968, Soviet troops and their Warsaw Pact allies invaded Czechoslovakia to bring an end to that country’s brief period of political liberalization, called the Prague Spring. About 500,000 troops were involved in the invasion and occupation, during which 137 Czechoslovaks died and some 500 were wounded. The invasion ended the political and economic reforms led by Alexander Dubcek and reasserted dominant Soviet and Communist authority in Czechoslovakia. It also helped establish the Brezhnev Doctrine, which Moscow said allowed the U.S.S.R. to intervene in any country where a communist government was under threat. Within the following year, resistance faded, Dubček was removed from office, his reforms were undone, and a more Soviet-controlled government was installed.

Prague Botanical Garden Uses Microscopic Photography to Feature Close-Up Photos of Honeybees

By Jessica Foshee The Prague Botanical Garden is currently hosting the Queens of Honey Up Close exhibition, allowing visitors to learn more about honeybees by viewing photos of them from an extraordinary perspective with the help of close-up photography technology. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is a photographic technique that can magnify photos up to 300,000 times their original sizes. “SEM is a tool at which invisible worlds of microspace and nanospace can be seen,” according to 2018 Hervex Conference proceedings by Azad Mohammed and Avin Abdullah from the Civil Engineering Department at the University of Sulaimani in Iraq. This display of Viktor Sýkora’s photos at the Queens of Honey Up Close exhibition includes a close-up of hair on the honeybee’s leg (middle) and close-up of pollen collected on the honeybee’s leg hair (right). The microscopic photography technique allows viewers to observe honeybees in a way that most people likely have never experienced. Thanks to the work of Viktor Sýkora, researcher and head of the Center for Experimental Biomodels at Charles University in Prague, visitors of the exhibition have the opportunity to view honeybees on a microscopic level. Visitors of the exhibition will appreciate the beauty of being surrounded by the...

The Eleventh Edition of Signal Festival Will Offer Two Video Mappings

The upcoming Signal Festival, now in its eleventh edition, promises a range of exciting attractions. It will feature two distinct video mapping routes and feature works by esteemed artists Jiří Příhoda, Zdeněk Sýkora, and Federico Díaz. The video mappings will illuminate two iconic Prague landmarks: the Municipal Library building on Mariánské náměstí and the Church of St. Cyril and Methodius on Karlínské náměstí. A highlight of this year’s festival is the unique artwork “Echo,” specially crafted for Signal. This video mapping offers a breath of fresh air to the genre, drawing inspiration from nature, the environment, and the intricate yet imperceptible natural processes that bind us. The video projections adorning the Municipal Library building on Mariánské náměstí harmoniously merge history and contemporary technology. Utilizing artificial intelligence and programmed robotic lights, this display extends the animated façade into the surrounding space. Titled “Luminary Glyphs,” is the brainchild of Hungarian artist András László Nagy. Combining his background in fine art and classical music, Nagy masterfully marries both disciplines to create an enthralling visual experience. This thought-provoking piece will grace Karlínské náměstí and is the creation of the acclaimed audiovisual studio Flightgraf, established in Tokyo in 2013. Renowned for projects like the monumental...

The Historic Renaming: On August 7, 1887, Královské Vinohrady Became Žižkov

Today marks the 136th anniversary of a pivotal moment in the history of Prague, as the district of Královské Vinohrady was officially renamed Žižkov. A District Reimagined Nestled in the heart of Prague, Královské Vinohrady, or “Royal Vineyards,” had long been associated with the affluent and the elite. Its elegant avenues, picturesque gardens, and grand architecture lent an air of aristocracy to the area, attracting a discerning populace. However, beneath the veneer of opulence, there simmered an undercurrent of dissent. With the onset of industrialization and urbanization, social inequality had become increasingly apparent. The working class, who toiled tirelessly to fuel the city’s growth, were relegated to cramped quarters and endured harsh living conditions. This stark contrast in living standards created a palpable divide within the district, with discontent gradually reaching its boiling point. Jan Žižka: A Symbol of Defiance To understand the significance of the renaming, one must delve into the rich tapestry of Czech history and uncover the identity of the man behind the new name – Jan Žižka. A medieval military leader and a prominent figure during the Hussite Wars in the 15th century, Žižka is revered as a national hero in Czech lore. His unwavering commitment...
