PaZVUK – site-specific performative lecture with collective imagination.
V slovenskom jazyku predpona pa- k podstatnému menu neguje, ukazuje na „neskutočnosť“ objektu – pajahody (Duchesnea indica), pagaštan (Aesculus hippocastanum), pajaseň (Ailanthus altissima). Je obdivuhodné, že 2 samostatné organizmy s odlišnými funkciami v ekológii dostali prídavok „nepravý“ z pohľadu užitočnosti pre človeka.
A sú vôbec nepravé zvuky? A ako sa smeje pavúk?

PaZVUK – site-specific performative lecture with collective imagination.
In the Slovak language, the prefix pa- attached to a noun negates it, pointing to the “unreality” of the object – pajahody (Duchesnea indica), pagaštan (Aesculus hippocastanum), pajaseň (Ailanthus altissima). It is remarkable that two independent organisms with different functions in ecology were given the addition “false” from the perspective of human usefulness.
And are there even false sounds? And how does a spider laugh?

Curated by Magdaléna Manderlová, Michal Kindernay, and the Bludný kámen collective, they return to the environment of the Kozmice Bird Meadows. This long-term project listens to the transformations of the soundscapes of the Opava River and its living floodplains. Floodplain areas—their presence, loss, and gradual disappearance—have become an urgent issue once again after the devastating floods of 2024. The Kozmice meadows, one of the last two floodplain areas of the Opava River, stand here as a fragile memory of water and as testimony to a landscape that can breathe together with the river.
The (Non)festival is preceded by a week-long symposium of artists, during which works are created in close relation to the specific site.
The festival itself is conceived as a sequence of interconnected events—from participatory listening exercises to concerts and performances—that link the audience with the place and its soundscape.
🌊The festival was supported by a grant from the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, Statutory City of Opava and the Czech-German Future Fund.
