Dobrá voda - Miro Miklas
17. May – 23. june 2022
Experience the sensitive approach applied by Miro Miklas in his series of documentary photographs with social themes, meant to capture the images of quickly and irretrievably vanishing Slovak villages. The photographer invested a lot of time to relations with the locals and is able to gently and naturally find his way to the inhabitants of a small half-forgotten Carpathian village called Dobrá Voda. To document their changing work, leisure time activities and traditional rituals. Miro saves a precious heritage which can clarify to our successors and us where our roots are, how used to be and how we used to live.

Bratislava na sútoku dvoch riek - Peter Korček
13. september 2022 – 6. november 2022
In this documentary photographic project, I explore the Danube and Morava rivers as inseparable parts of Bratislava and its surroundings. Their condition is a direct reflection of long-term human activity and the climate changes we are all witnessing: last year's floods and this year's extremely dry summer. Many are building their temporary or more permanent homes on the banks and their lives are closely linked to the rivers. The two rivers also form Slovakia's natural border with Austria and the Czech Republic. Not so long ago, the banks of these rivers were lined by an 'Iron Curtain' that separated us from the civilised Western world for many decades. The traces of communist terror are slowly and quietly growing into the landscape.
We will keep the calendar of the gallery events updated. We will inform you in time about any changes.
