The annual NeverMore 68 festival, centered around themes of freedom and truth. This year’s sub-theme, “Women of Dissent,” offers a poignant look back at the brave women who stood against the totalitarian regime.

The aim is to engage in candid and factual discussions about historical events, both ancient and recent, ensuring they are remembered accurately and not distorted.

The third edition of the cultural and social festival is scheduled for August 21st, marking the 56th anniversary of the occupation of former Czechoslovakia. The event will unfold from 16:00 to 22:00 at the Exhibition Grounds.

NeverMore 68 encompasses a series of concerts, discussions, exhibitions, and screenings, and, above all, serves as a platform for communal dialogue and the celebration of freedom and truth.

Czech Radio’s Director of News and Editor-in-Chief of Radiožurnál, Ondřej Suchan, reflects, “August 21st holds deep significance for Czech Radio, not only due to Czechoslovak Radio’s pivotal role during the early hours and days of the occupation. Commemorating these events is crucial.”

The festival’s program and panel discussions also involve organizations like Gulag.cz, Against Memory Loss, Decommunization,.z.s., the Museum on the Demarcation Line in Rokycany, and Political Prisoners.cz.

Exhibits span thematic photographs and substantial artifacts, including a T-55 tank once part of the occupying forces.

Admission to the event is free of charge.
