Kafkárna cooking at the UMPRUM Cafeteria

For two days, as part of an accompanying program to the exhibition House and Garden at the UM Gallery, you could enjoy vegetarian and vegan dishes prepared by Kafkárna at the UMPRUM Cafeteria. The menu consisted of a soup, a main dish, pieces of bread with different spreads as well as a selection of sweet baked goods.

The exhibition House and Garden documented the evolution and changes of the former sculpture studio of Bohumil Kafka and its further use as Kafkárna / Centre for Art and Ecology UMPRUM. The exhibition introduced a transformation of the space, its opening for international collaboration and the efforts to build a community around the studio’s garden. It also mapped a variety of events that took place for the local residents as well as the wider public. All of this was backed up by physical documentation including historical photographs, videos and mainly works of art connected to the place.

The accompanying program of the exhibition, apart from cooking, consisted of a guided tour of Kafkárna, a collective making of a tablecloth at the Illustration and Graphics studio led by the group Knedlík or a lecture about degrowth and culture by Šárka Zahálková.
