Reconstruction of the trial with members of the VONS

October 12, 2009

IllustrationWe invite you to the radio documentary on the trial with six members of the VONS at the Municipal Court in Prague on 22nd – 23rd October 1979.

Reconstruction

The basis of the reconstruction consists of the contemporary broadcasting of Radio Free Europe in February 1980. The reconstruction will take place exactly thirty years later: on 22nd October 2009 at 18:00 at the Montmartre Gallery (7 Řetězová Street, Prague 1). This event accompanies the exhibition “I just cannot live differently”, which is devoted just to this trial.

„If I consider the problem as that which the world is turning me into – that is, as a tiny screw in a giant machine, deprived of human identity – then there is really nothing I can do. Obviously I cannot put a stop to the destruction of the globe, the growing stupidity of nations and the repoduction of thousands of new thermonuclear bombs. If, however, I consider it as that which each of us originally is, or rahter what each of us – irrespective of the state of the world – has the basic potential to become, which is to say an autonomous human being, capable of acting responsibly to and for the world, then of course there is a great deal I can do.“
