Muladhara 2020

Muladhara is the first, root chakra, which is a symbol of grounding and stability. Muladhara captures the connection between the soul and the body, the bond between humans and nature and the entire universe, the unity of being. The human being is a rainbow, completed by the individual chakras. The image accompanying the electronic composition "Dipped into Poison" by American musician Lorn depicts a person from physical birth to the demise of the body and the departure of the soul to another incarnation.

BLACK CZECHS 2022

In the 1980s, dozens of Namibian children were brought up in socialist Czechoslovakia. The aim of this special education program was to raise a new generation of children as a politically conscious elite. But the experiment ended in the early 1990s following fundamental political changes in both countries. The children were forcibly repatriated back to Namibia where they were unable to adapt culturally due to never having completed their elementary education nor receiving any formal language and psychological training. Documentary filmmakers tracked down the now-adult Namibian children and followed their fates both in Namibia and in the Czech Republic over the course of three years.
