Event tip: ŠTETL FEST 2024

This year the festival “Štetl Fest” is taking place in Brno again, which we would like to warmly recommend as every year:

The theme of the 2024 edition is: “The Jewish trauma in art from Kafka to Barbie”: The Jewish trauma in art from Kafka to Barbie. The title and theme encompass a wide range of important challenges, in particular the attempt to name the Jewish trauma, its transmission to the next generations and also the need to transform it into artistic expression. The festival aims to show its historical development and its intersections with the present and to examine how the Jewish trauma is transferred into the lives of people in today’s society. How does it influence today’s political, artistic and economic world? Is it possible to manage it?
