The fourth thematic event in the project “68/89 – Art.Contemporary.History” took place in Brno in the Czech Republic as part of the ten-day “Velvet Festival or: an Autumn Dream of Spring”. Art happenings, discussions and concerts, dramatic readings and much more presented the force fields of 68 and 89 from a German and a Czech standpoint. An editorial team calling itself the “Velvet Press” set up a desk in the theatre’s foyer and used journalistic, literary and artistic means to explore the lines of perspective emerging between 1968, 1989 and the present.
