We invite children (aged 5–12) and their parents to playfully explore the themes of the Jindřich Chalupecký Award 2026 exhibition together with philosopher and educator Jiří Bartoník.

Each of us imagines something slightly different behind every word. The same goes for art – everyone discovers something of their own in it. That is precisely why it makes sense to think about it together. Through games, creation, movement, and shared dialogue, we will explore the themes that the artworks bring, seek out different perspectives, and discover that for many questions, there is no single right answer.

This is not a philosophy class or an art lecture, but a space for curiosity, sharing, and searching together. Just come with an open mind. Everything else we will discover together.

Jiří Bartoník is a philosopher, educator, and co-founder of the Pink Box platform. He has long focused on developing thinking, dialogue, and collaboration through philosophy. He works with children, adults, and teachers alike. In addition to leading group courses and training sessions, he also offers philosophical consultations and coaching.
