Workshop/Book Launch/Concert: “Resilience in/through the Arts”
26 September 2024, 14:00, Musicological Library, Institute of Art History, Czech Academy of Sciences (Puškinovo náměstí 9, 16000 Prague-6)
The interdisciplinary event “Resilience in/through the Arts” brings together scholars and practitioners from the fields of film and music. It features a workshop with presentations of individual case studies and a discussion panel; the launch of Women in Nineteenth-Century Czech Musical Culture (Routledge, 2024); and a concert titled “Tichý večer/Quiet Evening.” Through these avenues, the event will shed light on ways in which social resilience is created and shared through the arts, and how times of crisis and social resilience are reflected in the humanities, in artistic practice, and in public discourse about the arts.
Invited speakers include (in alphabetical order):
Dr Laura Anderson (Film Music Studies, University College Dublin, Ireland);
Univ. Prof. Marie-Louise Herzfeld-Schild (Musicology, mdw, Vienna, Austria);
Monika Jägerová (Singer, actor “Velké nic,” PhD candidate, Musicology, University of Leipzig);
Dr Larysa Naumova (Film Studies, Institute of Art History, Czech Academy of Sciences); and
Marika Pecháčková (Director of “Velké nic,” 2023, among others).
The workshop will be followed by the launch of Women in Nineteenth-Century Czech Musical Culture (Routledge, 2024) and a concert featuring works by Antonín Dvořák, Božena Jahnová, Václav Jan Tomášek, and others.
