Chess Games | Uwu Atelier
Come & play chess!
uwu atelier is an art studio/ project founded in 2024. The atelier is dedicated to water marbling an art form where movement, patience, and patterns come together to create one of a kind pieces. Each work embraces unpredictability, celebrating beauty that cannot be repeated.
The first release from uwu atelier is a series of marbled chess boards, each crafted with unique patterns and carefully chosen colors, making every board a singular expression of the process. With a quiet focus on craftsmanship and individuality, uwu atelier aims to create art that feels personal, timeless, and gently imperfect.

Tattoos | Nataly Středová
https://www.instagram.com/natalyzasesmrdi/
My name is Nataly and I’m a tattoo artist based in Prague. I enjoy observing applied art that’s embedded in daily life, whether it’s in religious iconography, decorative metal fencing, ornaments on facades or cross stitch patterns and I try to translate that into a language that can be worn and experienced through tattoos.

Haircuts | Laura Fiľáková
https://www.instagram.com/filakovalaura/
Outdoor haircut day. A change or maintenance of your look. Creative and asymmetrical cuts welcome, but classic and simple trims are also possible. Mulleys, scullets, chelsea cuts, and anything else that comes to mind – a creative, shared search for what suits your lifestyle or mood. Attention! Coloring is not possible.

Letní závitky | Lil’G
DJ
SETS:
🪩
16:00–17:00 | MY
My playing wedding adjacent tunes to welcome spring.
🕺
17:10–18:30 | Sabzipolo
Known mostly for playing extended listening sessions and occasional dips into dancefloor territory, Sabzipolo brings a selector’s sensibility behind the decks, curious, thoughtful, and always a little playful. Drawing from different eras, cultures, and corners of the world, his selections are less about chasing rarities and more about putting together sounds that aren’t usually found side by side.
💃
18:30–19:30 | Eucatastrophe
We are a music duo called *Eucatastrophe* a word that means a sudden, joyful turn in a story, when a seemingly hopeless situation transforms into something beautiful at the very last moment. In many ways, it perfectly reflects our story
Everything we create together is rooted in deep harmony, connection, and love ~ blending synthesizers, vocals, and raw, amateur electric guitar sounds.
𓀤𓀥
19:30–20:15 | Keiko Sei
Keiko Sei is a musical project by Daniel Rajmon and Tamara Spalajković. Their sound blends guitar loops and fractured harmonies of bedroom pop with introspective lyrics and flashes of euphoria. The band takes their name from the Japanese media theorist, whom they’ve never met but whose book Final Landscape left a mark on both.
16:00 – 18:00 | Azolla Collective: I can come as I am | AUDIO WALK
Elsnicovo náměstí
Join the audio walk I can come as I am by Azolla Collective. The walk lasts approximately 25 minutes (you can come anytime between 16:00 and 18:00) and takes place around Elsnicovo Square. Each location tells a different story — some invite you into magical bushes, others offer a new perspective on the Rokytka pool or an encounter with volcanoes.
Several specific spots will be marked on a map of the square via the Sonicmaps platform (https://sonicmaps.xyz/player/). With a smartphone and headphones, you can immerse yourself in a soundscape of images and texts we have prepared for you. You choose the route and the pace yourself. 🌿🎧
Azolla Collective
Azolla Collective focuses on creating performances and artistic interventions rooted in the urban landscape. Like the subtle aquatic fern azolla, we gently care for other organisms and create situations for encounters and mutual listening. Our work is based on artistic research, embodied practices, and improvisation, which naturally connect with the materiality and tactility of sculptural processes. Azolla Collective, based in Prague, was founded by Adina Voldrábová and Lucie Vrbíková.

17:00 | ME-SA / Martina Hajdyla Lacová: Forty Dance
Forty Dance
Dance without a stage, lights, or applause.
Dance into silence in the midst of the city’s noise.
Dance that emerges from the need to be here and now – as a celebration of inner strength and the joy of movement.
~
Forty Dance is a one-time event celebrating the 40th birthday of dancer Martina Hajdyla Lacová. It expands on the theme of conscious dance from the solo performance Second Practice. In the rush of everyday life, where there is always something more urgent than stopping – than dance, and even than ourselves – this event becomes a return to attention: to the possibility of turning it back toward our own existence and celebrating it together.

Concept and dance: Martina Hajdyla Lacová
Production: Adéla Lipavská
Creative producer: Jiří Hajdyla / ME-SA

40 minutes, no language barrier
20:35 – 21:05 | Azolla Collective: light ~ dusk ~ shadow
Elsnicovo náměstí
guardians of light ignite
by sunset and sunrise
each time a fraction of a second apart
laughing, glittering
two standing, close together, burning
I tape my eyes, lick, measure in elbows
the fire shines only once
Performance light.twilight.shadow reflects on the theme of artificial lighting in public space, which has a direct impact on the surrounding environment and all organisms living nearby. It becomes a spark, a glimmer, or a reminder of nostalgia. The performers bring shadows to life, exploring the fragility of the boundaries between what is visible and what remains hidden. A liminal space at the moment when dusk is falling but it is still possible to see – light ~ twilight ~ shadow – and in between, a space no one has asked what it could be, or what brings it to life
