The first half of the Czechoslovakian era consisted of twenty years of prosperity and peace that Czechs and Slovakians alike look back to for cultural inspiration.

In contrast, the second half of the country’s existence proved to be a tumultuous period for all of Central and Eastern Europe. Here’s a timeline of the most impactful events that make up the history of Czechoslovakia.

Prague Spring: the movement for liberation from communism is squashed by the invasion of Warsaw Pact troops.

Velvet Revolution: the almost entirely non-violent transition of power from Communism to Democracy.

The last 100 years Not only has fall arrived and with it our favorite sweater weather, but this year the season brings with it the 100th anniversary of the founding of Czechoslovakia. Galerie La Femme has honored this occasion with an exhibit of artist’s work that focuses on cultural icons from the Czechoslovakian era, including Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, the first President of Czechoslovakia. Our cover features Josef Blecha's rendition of the President, fondly known as T.G.M., who is remembered as a liberator and protector of freedom and peace. His presidency ushered in a golden era of economic prosperity and flourishing culture.

October marks the annual SIGNAL Festival, Prague’s largest cultural event, attracting over 2 THE

million visitors since its conception 6 years ago.

The festival brings in international and local audiovisual artists to alter Prague’s already aweinspiring architecture into art, from large-scale video-mapping to 3D exhibits, light sculptures, and more. This year the festival has expanded to the upand-coming neighborhood of Karlín, as well as the usual routes through Old Town and Vinohrady in Prague 2. For the first time the festival has chosen to focus on the theme of reactions to the anniversary of Czechoslovakia, but with a focus on moving forward rather than simply remembering the past.

Plan a few nights to explore the different routes!

Here at the magazine we’ve honored the anniversary with our feature on the Czech

photographers Jiří Jírů and Jindřich Štreit. Jírů not only photographed the 1988-89 revolutions in Poland, Romania, and the Velvet Revolution here in Prague, he was also one of President Havel’s personal photographers. Štreit on the other hand focused on photographing everyday village life under the Czechoslovakian communist regime, earning him the reputation as one of the leading figures of Czech documentary photography.

BEHIND THE LENS In the 70’s there was a popular song “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised,” but here in Prague the Velvet Revolution was not only televised but also caught on camera. To commemorate the 100th anniversary of Czechoslovakia, we’re taking a look behind the lens of two Czech photographers who documented life under the communist regime. Jiří Jírů spent much of his career in Brussels after the Warsaw Pact troops invaded Czechoslovakia, but the revolutions brought him home 25 years later. After spending a couple years documenting the Glasnost era in Russia and revolutions in Poland and Romania, Jírů finally returned to Prague in 1989 to capture what is now known as the Velvet Revolution. Jindřich Štreit, on the other hand, focused on photographing everyday village life under communist regimes in Czechoslovakia and neighboring countries. He also photographed general elections in Prague, photos which lead to his arrest and sentence to work on a state farm for defamation of the government.

He is widely known as one of the leading figures of Czech documentary photography. Both photographers captured the spirit of the Czechs and Slovaks as they simultaneously lived their everyday lives while also fighting for their freedoms.

Photo by Jiří Jírů

Introduced to photography by his uncle at a young age, Jiří Jírů was already an up-and-coming photographer with Prague newspapers when he went on a short trip to Brussels in 1968 – A trip that ended up lasting twenty-five years.

Jírů’s travel happened to coincide with the unexpected Soviet invasion that ended the Prague Spring, prompting his mom to advise him to stay put in Brussels until the Russians cleared out. Quickly learning that language barriers would prevent him from getting work right away, Jírů enrolled in film school for a couple years before dropping out to take an assistant job developing photos for other photographers due to lack of money. Growing tired of this, Jírů went directly to the flat of the European Commission TIME correspondent, who miraculously connected Jírů with freelance work.

Not only allowing Jírů to finally become financially stable, this job gave him opportunities to make countless more connections, nudging

his career back into place. He went on to publish photographs in Newsweek, Business Week, National Geographic, The New York Times, Fortune, People Magazine and Paris Match, among other worldrenowned publications. Through these connections Jírů found himself visiting the White House, an experience that would make a lasting impression on him, even encouraging him to pursue working for Czech President Václav Havel some twenty years later.

Before becoming Havel’s photographer, People Magazine sent Jírů to the then Soviet Union to document Mikhail Gorbachev’s leadership and the era of “Glasnost,” or openness and transparency that Gorbachev promoted within the USSR and throughout relations with the western world. For six weeks Jírů traveled the country photographing the people of Russia as their country went through the immensely impactful movement of Perestroika, involving the restructuring of their

entire government. This era is widely accepted to be a significant precursor to the dissolution of the Soviet Union and inspiration for the Eastern European revolutions of 1989. For Jírů, this Russian expedition turned out to be one of the most interesting assignments of his career as he got to dive into the minds of an entirely different culture during one of the most dynamic periods in their culture.

A year after Russia and other assignments documenting the beginning of revolutions in Poland and Romania, TIME and The New York Times sent Jírů to shoot what is now known as the Velvet Revolution. “I hesitated a bit,” says Jírů. “There was a danger I could get arrested upon arrival at the airport because of emigrating from Czechoslovakia years before. But I already had Belgian citizenship at the time, so I decided to agree and took the offer.” A demonstration was planned in Prague for the 20th anniversary of the Soviet invasion of

Czechoslovakia. “Not many people believed it would happen,” remembers Jírů. “But it did in the end.” From his accommodations in the Hotel Jalta, where the government famously tapped the rooms in order to spy on the foreign guests, Jírů watched as small groups gradually turned into a large group of hundreds of people “peacefully walking towards Old Town Square.” Following along with the protesters, Jírů recalls how “later they tried to continue to the Prague Castle, but by the evening the police intervened and arrested hundreds of people.”

“It wasn’t easy to carry the shot material through the borders,” says Jírů. “In the end we did manage to send the photos with the help of the Belgian and American embassies, via Vienna and on through to New York.” Jírů returned to Prague a year later, this time with approval from the Communist party, to document the unexpected and peaceful transition of the Czechoslovakian government from Communism to a parliamentary republic.

A few years later Jírů randomly met President Havel at the funeral of the Belgian King Baudouin.

Jírů, in his typical go-getter fashion, wrote to the

castle and asked if they would hire him as Havel’s photographer. Although they were unable to pay Jírů more than a measly 350 CZK a month, Jírů, inspired by his visit to the White House all those years before, accepted the position anyways responding that “such work is not done just for money.” However, leaving Brussels was not all glamour.

“I had quite a few disappointments,” says Jírů.

“But luckily all the negatives from this period have been archived in the Prague Castle, which makes me very happy and proud.”

Most of Jírů’s photos are shot in black and white.

In Czech culture “black and white photographs are still very popular,” says Jírů. “It reminds people of the old masters. Even when the photographer takes a color photograph, he will alter it in photoshop to black and white and immediately get a better response.” This aspect of Czech photography is the only major difference Jírů found between styles here and the style of photography in Brussels and the U.S. “Photography is defined more by the photograph’s mindset,” says Jírů. “This is influenced

by the society where the photographer lives or works.”

Some of the most memorable moments of his time with President Havel include taking photos of Olga Havlová’s funeral, the first wife of President Havel, and later Havel’s wedding with Czech actress Dagmar Veškrnová. On top of royalty and presidents, and drastically changing governments, Jírů also took photos of many celebrities and cultural icons.

While in Russia, he photographed journalist Susan Reed leaving flowers at her grandfather’s grave who was “the only American who was honored to be buried in the cemetery at the Kremlin.” Her grandfather, John Reed, wrote the novel Ten Days That Shook the World and was a close friend of Lenin. Jírů’s collection includes actors Meryl Streep and Arnold Schwarzenegger, singers Michael Jackson, Mireille Mathieu, and Sinéad O’Connor, the bands The Bee Gees and The Rolling Stones, Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal, and many more.

DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHER

<

Photo by Jindřich Štreit

JINDRICH STREIT

Jindřich Štreit never meant to ridicule the Czechoslovakian President with his photos, but he was arrested all the same. While documenting the course of the general elections in 1981, Štreit edited photos, adding pictures of Gustav Husák, the President at the time, in unexpected and absurd places. Viewers found the photos comical, the communist party found them treasonous.

“I didn’t regret it. But I never thought that in a way, as it was interpreted,” says Štreit. “I didn’t mean to satirize. It was not something to laugh about, but to cry..” Štreit is considered one of the most important figures in Czech documentary photography. From a small village in eastern Czechoslovakia, he mainly photographs what he knows – normal everyday life in rural communities. From the seemingly mundane and simple, to aspects of life that are normal but possibly shouldn’t be, Štreit set out to capture what life was really like for villagers under the communist regime. For Štreit, to be a documentary photographer he could not be cold and impersonal, but must truly understand the subjects he chose to shoot. He looks through his lens with empathy, warmth, and understanding to capture not just the reality of it all, but also the underlying humanity, getting to know the subjects of his photos.

“Documentary photography is about

people and this is what I truly like,” says Štreit.

“The communication with others, this is for me, personally, a big joy.”

He was never one to disguise the rough and dirty, instead he confronted people with unabashedly true photos that found the beauty in the midst of gritty reality. His photos range from gas-mask wearing people walking through beautiful country sides to a couple having a disagreement about which way to carry a log, and other candid village interactions between friends, families, and neighbors. He has also varied from village life by documenting drug addiction, disabled life, prison life, and cultures of other countries during his extensive travels. He is currently focusing on the relationship of chaplains and prisoners, and the work of home hospice nurses. Throughout all his various topics, Štreit attempts to highlight the universal social relations that connect all of humanity together.

Naturally, Štreit’s dedication to the realistic no matter what it displayed or brought to light did not go over well with the communist party. The propaganda-focused nature of the government meant that only the best aspects of the country could be highlighted in artistic exhibitions, so when Štreit edited his photos to convey the reality of the elections he was arrested for defamation and forced to work on a state farm. Upon release Štreit

was instructed not to take any more photographs, but he ignored their warning and went right back to photographing the world around him. While he enjoyed documenting life under the communist regime, his favorite era is directly after the Velvet Revolution.

“Every period has something special and unique,” says Štreit. “But I have to say that the period after 1989 was a time of hope and freedom.” Štreit not only connects with people through his photographs, but he has also been an avid teacher, professor, and general enthusiast for the arts for most of his life. He has worked as the headmaster and librarian at elementary schools, coordinated cultural activities in villages and through museums, and been a professor of visual media and photography at universities. Currently he is still teaching in the Institute of Creative Photography at the Arts and Sciences Faculty of the Silesian University in eastern Czech Republic.

He also remains very active in the cultural scene in Sovinec in North Moravia, an art hub that he is largely credited with singlehandedly creating. He often coordinates exhibitions and other cultural events at the castle there, bringing artistic life to the area and encouraging younger generations in their creative endeavors.

Signal Festival

Prague in a whole different light This month marks what has become Prague’s largest cultural event: SIGNAL Festival. The festival alters Prague’s already awe-inspiring architecture into art, “reviving both well-known and hidden places of Prague” by turning urban spaces into fantastical light shows.

Returning for its sixth year, the festival brings together international and local audiovisual artists to dazzle festival-goers with “all things light,” from large-scale video-mapping onto historic structures, to light sculptures and installations, to 3-D exhibits, performances, and more.

This year SIGNAL is bigger than ever, with 24 installations found not only in the historic center and trendy Vinohrady, but also in the up-andcoming neighborhood Karlín. The festival opens at Karlínské náměstí, where viewers can find “Future Ruins,” an installation by French artist Romain Tardy who co-founded the visual label ANTIVJ. This “sitespecific installation combines a digital projection on the Church of St. Cyril and Methodius with twelve light statues” whose shapes mirror that of the architectural components of the church.

“For the first time this year, the festival has chosen a common topic, which is a reaction to the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Republic,” explains program coordinator Matěj Vlašánek.

“However, rather than focusing on the past century, the festival is concerned with the next 100 years.”

Various installations in Old Town explore this theme by playing with the idea of how an individual interacts with and contributes to a crowd and how a crowd is made up of unique individuals. Famous Czech artist Ivan Kafka highlights this relationship using reflections from strategically placed traffic cones in his installation, “About being in a herd,” while Tomáš Dymeš takes an interactive approach with participants creating lines of light through touch.

The Vinohrady route includes large-scale videomapping on the Church of St. Ludmila in Náměstí Míru. The German creative label Ruestungsschmie. de “utilize individual architectonical elements to tell the story of past, present and future” in an impressive and mind-boggling installation displayed right on the front of the historic church.

“This year, 21 out of 24 installations are created thanks to the financial support from Signal, in the 6 years of the festival it adds up to around 100 artistic installations,” says festival director Martin Pošta.

“This makes Signal one of the most important

producers of new art in the Czech Republic.”

While the outdoor sections of SIGNAL remain free, we recommend purchasing a handy map for the best routes and the guarantee you don’t miss any locations. You can also purchase the SIGNAL Festival App which includes maps and information on all the installations. Visit signalfestival.com for tickets to the gallery zone.

Signal Festival takes place October 11-14, running from 7-11pm each night. The opening ceremony takes place at Karlínské náměstí in Karlín, orange number 23 on the map!

Exhibition at Galerie La Femme celebrates the First Republic This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of Czechoslovakia and the beginning of the First Republic. The country has been commemorating this anniversary with festivals and exhibitions showcasing the history and traditions shared by Czechs and Slovaks alike.

Galerie La Femme, a tiny, two-room art space on Bílkova street in Old Town, is also honoring this occasion by highlighting it as the theme of their “Homework” project, “First Republic – Celebration of the 100th Anniversary.”

“Homework” is exactly what it sounds like: Miroslav Lipina, the owner of Galerie La Femme, offers artists a yearly homework assignment, in which they create a work of art based on a specific theme. A way for the gallery to play a direct part in the creation of art, it can also be an avenue for both emerging and esteemed local Czech and Slovak artists to commemorate important historical moments and icons in their culture. This year’s theme does just that, celebrating one of the region’s most prosperous periods and its cultural achievements.

Founded in 1918, the countries peacefully split in 1993 after being under Nazi and Soviet control for many years. From 1918 to the first World War, Czechoslovakia’s economy boomed, creating 21 years of cultural prosperity and “a time of elegance” that many still draw inspiration from and admire to this day. During this era, known as The First Republic, black and white films centered around aristocratic, posh lifestyles, literature was at once both charmingly comedic and scathingly political, and style was full of glitz and glamour.

Lipina says that it is “a period on which we return with nostalgia” and patriotism.

Many of the artists paid homage to this period, focusing on intellectuals from this time, such as actor Adina Mandlová, cubist painter Emil Filla or writer Karel Čapek, who is widely remembered for his humanistic fight against communism. Many also featured one of the most beloved Czech leaders of all time, Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, fondly known as T.G.M., who was the first president of Czechoslovakia from 1918-1935. Besides featuring the prolific icons of this prosperous era, artists

also focus on the red, white, and blue colors of the Czechoslovakian flag, often contrasting the colors with depictions of what life looked like at the time or saturating icons of Czechoslovakia in the country’s colors.

Artists featured in this exhibit range from famous Czech painters such as Boris Jirků, known for the colorful expressiveness and absurdity of his paintings, and Miroslav Jiránek, who focuses on natural settings through his style of “meditative realism,” to up-and-coming young artists of the next generation. Lipina says that while small, the gallery’s cosy, intimate space serves as an asset to showcase and sell the artists’ works. With such a limited area to exhibit the art, each artist and their work is carefully chosen, and visitors feel more connected to the space and its message. “When visitors come to us, they feel family and a kind of atmosphere,” Lipina adds. “We like to talk with our visitors, to share with them an interest in the paintings.”

Galerie La Femme is open daily from 10:0018:00. Visit them at Bílkova 2 in Old Town.

THE PRAGUE VISITOR | October 2018

PRAGUE

Cocktail guide The best cocktail bars in Prague (like the ones listed here) get pretty busy, even during the week. It's always good to make a reservation just to make sure you get a seat (even at the bar).

Le Valmont 9)

Uhelný trh 9, Praha 1 www.levalmont.cz The Michael Van Cleef Ault concept was inspired by the Miloš Forman movie of the same name, and is decorated in 18th-century French fashion with aubusson carpets, antique sofas, and massive crystal chandeliers. Reservations are all but required, since the 100-capacity lounge fills up fairly quickly. +420 224 267 266 for Reservations.

Black Angel's 8#

Staroměstské náměstí 29, Praha 1 www.blackangels.cz Nestled in a cozy cellar just across from the Old Town astronomical clock, Black Angel’s will put you in sensory overload. With high cellar ceilings, chandeliers, and ornate decor, it’s a lot to take in. +420 224 213 807 for Reservations.

Bar and Books 8%

Mánesova 64, Praha 2 and Týnská 19, Praha 1 www.barandbooks.cz Bar & Books is the first overseas extension of the famous New York family of bars, with two locations in Prague (the more casual in Mánesova and slightly more formal in Týnská). The bar evokes the feeling of a gentleman’s library. Dim lighting, heavy woods, ornately framed paintings and of course books (though mostly for visual aesthetics). Reservations online.

Bugsy's 9%

Industry 7*

www.bugsysbar.cz Bugsy’s is another bar with a great history, popping up just after the Velvet Revolution.

Their one constant has been attention to detail and passion for good cocktails. Bugsy’s also loves their bubbly, and boasts over 130 brands of champagne and prosecco, as well as over 90 single malt whiskeys and 100 types of rum. +420 224 810 287 for Reservations.

www.industryprague.com Prague's newest venue is a London style club with shisha and tobacco and the highest quality sound systems playing the newest hip hop.

Located right in the center of Prague, its worth a visit for sure! +420 736 606 612 for Reservations.

Pařížská 10, Praha 1

Tretter's 8@

V kolkovně 3, Praha 1 www.tretters.cz The Tretter family has been in the bar business for more than 90 years, so it’s no wonder this place feels like walking into a 1930’s Paris or New York cocktail bar. With soft lighting, classic decor and bartenders dressed the part in vintage cocktail jackets, the bar has become an institution. +420 224 811 165 for Reservations.

Parlour 8$

Bartolomějská 305, Praha 1 www.bonvivantsprague.com Bonvivant's CTC isn’t huge, but it’s cozy and has a cool 1950’s feel with mid-century wood furnishings, a pressed tin ceiling and a checkered floor. Bartenders are a virtual encyclopedia of drink possibilities and suggestions based on your tastes. +420 775 331 862 for Reservations.

Crazy Daisy 9(

Václavské náměstí 4, Praha 1 www.crazydaisy.cz Somewhat hidden at the bottom of Wenceslas Square, this one of our favourite new hotspots.

First Republic style interior, bar staff dressed the part and videomapping on the walls that pushes reality - it feels like you're in The Great Gatsby. +420 273 130 486 for Reservations.

Karolíny Světlé 26, Praha 1 www.hemingwaybar.cz Chances are, if you’ve asked around, Hemingway's Bar has already been recommended. The Old Town hotspot just made the “World’s Top 50 Bars” for the third time, and with good reason. The bar’s philosophy is that every customer must have a seat, so you won’t feel overcrowded here.

Reservations are highly recommended. +420 773 974 764 for Reservations.

Cash Only Bar 8(

www.parlour.cz Maybe Parlour doesn’t want to be found – and that’s fine with us. The tiny little bar at the top of Wenceslas Square near the National Museum has a delightful speakeasy vibe to it, though it’s quickly becoming a popular secret.

If you should luck out and discover the nearly unmarked entry, inside you’ll find an intimate, dimly lit bar with old jazz and R&B records playing and amazing craft cocktails served in antique glassware. +420 777 200 015 for Reservations.

www.cashonlybar.cz Just around the corner from its older sibling Hemingway’s, this little gem is making its own name with cocktails like Pin-Up Martini, made with passion fruit, vanilla and champagne.

It’s an intimate bar, and they don’t take reservations. There’s also no smoking and, you guessed it—the bar doesn’t take credit cards.

Oh, and by the way, they do serve amazing hot dogs.

L'Fleur 9$

www.lfleur.cz L’Fleur is just a few doors down from Tretter’s.

Even before our first drink, we fell in love with the 1920’s feel of the interior, complete with a Mucha-inspired stained glass window towards the back of the bar. The signature drinks all come with their own history, which the bartender is always happy to explain. If you’re feeling a bit more bubbly, try a selection from L’Fleur’s expansive champagne list. +420 734 255 665 for Reservations

AnonymouS Bar 9# Michalská 12, Praha 1

www.anonymousbar.cz It’s nearly impossible to go into the AnonymouS Bar and not smile, the bar is clever at every turn.

You can tell the bartender your likes and they’ll make suggestions, or choose from the secret drink menu printed in UV ink and read with a small blacklight. Reservations are taken only until 9pm. +420 608 280 069 for Reservations.

Alchemist Bar 9*

Point Gallery 7^

Betlémské náměstí 5a, Praha 1 www.pointgallery.cz The Point has become one of our new favorite go-to spots. Comfortably casual, it's an interesting concept that successfully manages to combine a coffee shop, a bar, and an exhibition space under one roof. Like most cool things, it's slightly hidden so you may have to look for it. Point is cool, modern, and artistic at the same time, not to mention their fair prices. +420 721 355 683 for Reservations.

THE FINAL SHOT

This month we were lucky enough to be gifted with a never-before-published photo of the beloved Czechoslovakian President, Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk.

Jiří Jírů is one of our featured photographers for his work documenting the European revolutions in 1988-89 and his time as one of President Vaclav Havel’s photographers.

Jírů’s uncle and teacher, Václav Jírů, took this photo of Masaryk celebrating the 15th anniversary of Czechoslovakia on October 28, 1933. 75 years later, the entire country is celebrating the 100th anniversary of Czechoslovakia and the prosperity experienced during Masaryk’s presidency.

Born in 1850 to a working-class family in Slovakia, Masaryk’s passion for education led him to receive a Ph. D from the University of Vienna, writing his habilitation thesis on suicide in modern society and piquing his interest in philosophy. He went on to become a Professor of Philosophy at Charles University in Prague and was active in education and politics, on top of founding Athenauem, 46

a culture and science magazine. These activities, his desire for political freedom and his fierce opposition to traditional Czech ideology, including anti-Semitism blood libel trials, led to his involvement in Czech politics where he served in multiple government parties.

During the height of World War I, Masaryk openly campaigned for a unified Czech and Slovak republic in order to remove the two nations from the control of the AustriaHungary regime. This radical opposition to the regime led to years of exile for Masaryk and his family – years he spent forming the Czechoslovak National Council which would go on to be recognized as the de facto government of Czechoslovakia by the Allied Powers.

In 1918 he met with U.S. President Woodrow Wilson to advocate for the unification of an independent Czechoslovak nation. Masaryk gained the support he needed and traveled around the United States imploring hundreds of Americans to hear his cause. On May 5, Masaryk’s lecture at the

THE PRAGUE VISITOR | October 2018

University of Chicago inspired around 150,000 Americans to march through the streets in support of Czechoslovakia. The University of Chicago then became the American home for Czechoslovakian immigration.

When the Austro-Hungarian empire fell in 1918, Masaryk was elected the first president of the Czechoslovak Republic before he even had a chance to return home. He received a warm welcome at the Prague Castle in December and went on to serve three terms, leading the country into a golden era of economic prosperity and flourishing culture, now remembered as the First Republic.

In 1937, less than two years after leaving the presidency, Masaryk died at the age of 87. He left behind the legacy of “President Liberator,” remembered for his never wavering commitment to the protection of freedom and promotion of peace. Fondly referred to as T.G.M. or T.G. Masaryk, you’ll recognize renditions of him by his signature mustache, as portrayed on this month’s cover.
