The Second Fire is an immersive look at Lake Baikal in Siberia, the oldest, deepest and most voluminous lake in the world, which contains more than 20% of the world’s fresh water. Authors Gabriela Bulišová and Mark Isaac spent a year in eastern Siberia and created a multifaceted project that places special emphasis on the lake’s environmental problems, including increasing pollution and rapid climate change. Through experimental photography, multi-channel videos and a uniquely designed photo book, they capture the vastness and majesty of the lake, intimate moments of its resilient inhabitants and quirky sites, and the urgent dangers that threaten them.
The guided tour will be held in English by the authors of the exhibition Gabriela Bulišová and Mark Isaac.

Join the curator of the exhibition The Art of Activism Jitka Hlaváčková for a guided tour, followed by a workshop The World Fourth Congress of Missing Things led by Barbara Holub.
The accompanying program to the exhibition The Art of Activism presents the project World Congress of Missing Things by Barbara Holub (transparadiso). The artist and co-author of the exhibition concept Barbara Holub, together with the exhibition curator Jitka Hlaváčková, will introduce the history and principles of this artistic method, which creates an open, non-hierarchical space for generating knowledge – for example, for formulating starting points for further steps in urban planning or for creating a Charter of Missing Things. The subsequent workshop will invite visitors to collectively articulate the things and ideas that are missing in our city and in today’s complex times – as a reflection on the exhibition and a way to extend it beyond the gallery into the urban space. The event will also present strategies of “direct urbanism” and the role of the “urbanist-activist”, who challenges established planning procedures and explores new forms of civic participation. Participants will become familiar with strategies inspired by the thinking of Michel de Certeau and will be able to reflect on how such art can become a specific form of contemporary activism.
5 pm guided tour with the curator (in English)
6–8 pm workshop and performance The Fourth World Congress of Missing Things with Barbara Holub
The program will run in English.
