Together we will visit the annual festival Designblok and explore its main theme - light - in its various forms. On a curated tour around the festival places (including the showcase of lighting and lamps from Central Europe from the 1950s to the 1980s), we will open the dialogue about the role of design today and meet and discuss with renowned Czech designers.

The lecture focuses on selected examples of art collections and how they are built. It explores private and institutional collections, how they are displayed and stored, and how they evolve over time.
