The course is conceived as a cycle of moderated lectures built on the basis of a dramaturgical plan, in which significant personalities from the Czech and international artistic and wider cultural and social context are presented. Visual artists, art theorists and historians, curators of contemporary art, designers, architects, but also representatives of related social science fields ? political scientists, sociologists, historians, journalists, as well as personalities significantly influencing development are invited to the lectures. society or specific communities. The thematic focus of the cycle of lectures is always created for a specific semester and responds to the current situation on the art scene or to fundamental movements in social discourse. Students react to the topics of lectures and individual lecturers in the form of a guided discussion, which is part of the program of individual presentations, as well as in the form of a seminar paper, which they prepare on a selected topic of the lecture. The seminar work is designed as an open form ? students can respond to the selected topic of a specific lecture with an essayistic text, but also by realizing their own project or artwork. The lecture cycle is firmly anchored in the schedule and combines the format of a classic lecture on site, an author-commented tour in the Ústí nad Labem House of Art, an online and streaming performance, and often also a presentation of a work of art, for example in the form of a performance, theater or musical performance.
