List of speakers:

David Adamec
Born in Zlín, studied at FFUK and AVU (1994-2000) in Prague. He focuses primarily on painting but also on installation art. He lives and works in Prague.

Archport and Markéta Hronková
The creative hub Archport was founded in October 2013 amidst the restless waters of the Adriatic by architects Vojtěch Hybler and David Dvořák. Although Archport was established "on water," its foundations are built on a love for geometry, simplicity, and respect for context. With the kind help of Markéta, Magdalena, and Babu, it will present the flagship of its fleet: the Babu house!

Tereza Brdečková
Jiří Brdečka was born in Austria-Hungary and, like his entire generation, lived in six countries without ever leaving. He was a filmmaker, critic, illustrator, and writer, dying prematurely, having written Limonádový Joe and thirteen other scripts for films you know. As a director of animated films, he became a world classic, and his works must be preserved. Thirty years after his death, a significant book about him is published for reading and browsing, which will be presented at PechaKucha by its author, Brdečka's daughter.

Martin Duda (label VFX)
He comes from historical Mikulov. He has been fascinated by animation, visual effects, and sci-fi films since childhood. He created his first animated pieces at the age of 12 in the classroom of Gymnázium Mikulov on 286 computers. He went to study animation at FAMU in Prague, where he graduated in 2008 with the short sci-fi film "I am bigger and better,” which was nominated for a student Oscar in the USA, among other honors. He now works as an independent director, animator, and VFX specialist, and in 2008 he founded the VFX label. At PK, he will present The Great Adventures of Rosa and Dory - an animated adventure series that is being prepared under his direction at Bionaut films.

Hájek architects
They will present the recently completed and opened Krkonošské Center for Environmental Education in Vrchlabí, a building designed as a hybrid of house and landscape.

HIDDEN FACTORY
They will take us to an exhibition presented at last year's Designblok, inspired by the situation at the oldest Czech porcelain factory. They will show what could not fit into the installation and tell how it all really started...

Tereza Houdková
Diamond? For eating. Brooch? For single use. Thistle? For a shirt. Ring? Made of ink and for everyone. Toy cars from Kinder Surprise? Into a bracelet, let them chase each other nicely. Jewelry as a mission for fun!

Libuše Jarcovjáková
Photographer, living and working in Prague. Since her early photographic years, she has been capturing subjectively toned intimate autobiographical records of her life, relationships, travels, and places. In the 1980s, she focused on photographic cycles about the lives of Vietnamese workers, Roma families in Prague and Eastern Slovakia, and the gay community around the Prague T-club. From 1985 to 1990, she lived in West Berlin and photographed fashion in Tokyo in 1986. From 1992 to 2012, she taught photography at the Secondary and Higher Graphic School in Hellichova Street. In recent years, she has regularly exhibited (e.g., Langhans Gallery, 1st Floor Gallery, participation in the Inner Circle project, Month of Photography Bratislava 2013). She is currently preparing an exhibition for the Atelier of Josef Sudek (April-May 2014) and is working on new projects.

JRKVC
JRKVC is an architectural and design studio from Bratislava. It was founded in 2013 by architect Peter Jurkovič.

Lenka Klodová, Helena Poláková and Lucie Nepasická (Scary Child)
What comes from the combination of a sculptor, a jeweler, and a health clown? It's Scary Child!

Pavel Šmíd
A Prague native from Ostrava who digs into the past and tries to capture it in images. It is difficult, but he enjoys it immensely. And he hopes to entertain someone else, too.

Pavel Tichoň
A sophisticated diletante. He is almost unmistakable in the contemporary Czech art scene due to his approach to creation and his distinctive playfulness or subversive irony that flows through all possible media. His view of the present and the artwork is expressed through a gently skeptical viewpoint with a significant undertone of absurdity. He reacts directly to situational and significant stimuli from his surroundings—social reality or art history—which he transforms into newly defined contexts. His occasional works are full of irony with a strong content of humor and states bordering on unspecified phobia. Graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague in 2006.
