2024: A year of trains, zines, cables, and resistance
2024 began 8hrs east of Prague in cozy overheated bunkbeds on the overnight train to Košice. We drank store-bought haiku, wrote knock-off božkov, and waved our shared flag at Tabačka Kulturfabrik in the January haze. Greeted by our dear friends at Slam Poetry SK, we premiered our collective project: Performance, Deformance, Reformance along with on-site readings, actions, and sounds.
And in a city where, just outside of its borders, culture & expression is monitored, we felt your honest and passionate desire to create, sustain, and preserve community through diversity and resilience. We thank you for welcoming us into your circle.

In February, we ventured back to Krakow, ground zero of Performance, Deformance, Reformance, for the final chapter of our first international language happening. It was the Kazimierz last standoff at the Artefakt Cafe where we played and displayed our propaganda notions in the nook book room with friendly familiars who witnessed it all unleashed August previous.
And after that year and a half of scheming, teething, and happening, we clapped our softened hands & took them on the final train back home to Prague where we would later find each moment engraved. Thank you for letting us get to know you, Krakow, Budapest, and Košice. See you at a potraviny in Žižkov soon.
From February thru December we sat in chairs to let our hair dangle and tangle still in ecstasy. We hosted several zine workshops at Místečko and Kampus Hybernská where we snipped, sipped, glued, and smoothed 56 pages of works from 24 different creators for five new issues of KROTCH Mag.

In April, we brought a 100m video cable to the Art Brut Gallery and invited our community to watch a one-time film premiere. One-time because it would never happen again; never happen again because what was projected was being filmed in that moment (100m outside the venue).
The project was titled “Anti-Climax” and nothing happened out of script, because there was no script–only improvised movement & direction. And when we entered the venue with the camera, the method of capture became the subject, the shared moment between the performers & the audience the object.
In June, we launched OBJECT:PARODY, a monthly variety show in partnership with Shella Radio at Planeta za, Ankali. The radioshow exposes the (in)deciences of the artworld that Prague (mis)represents by featuring creative works & reports from KROTCH Mag along with interviews from our OBJECT:VAULT series, critical discussions, and music from the Prague scene.
Thanks again to our KROTCH contributors and those who came out to our live listening sessions in the Planeta za summer garden. We look forward to the next season of this project in 2025!

Later that month, we traveled to Ukraine to meet with local organizations, collectives, and artists to learn about their methods of resistance in Ukraine’s westernmost metropolis: Lviv. What resulted was a 30-minute documentary and full-length book that captures these voices & happenings titled “Existence is Resistance.”
From the Naked Forms festival at Dzyga Gallery, to the punk show at the Kotelyna squat, to the intimate moments in Ed’s Miniatures painting workshop, we learned that, no matter the form or medium, the very act of creating can be a form of resistance.
Our hearts are with our Ukrainian neighbors and the many voices we encountered during our five days in Lviv. In 2025, we will return to premiere the film and book born of your resilience. Sláva Ukrajině!
In August, we were invited to Inverze Literární Festival in Ostrava to share the OBJECT:PARADISE Manifesto with a screening of O:P III. And when people came up to us after the film and asked, “Is this really happening in Prague?” we responded, “it was then, and when you come it will be as well–only differently.”
We made many new friends and would like to thank you all for sharing the nice evening and early morning with us. We fell asleep under a tree near the river, and it was nice there even under the blistering August.
And when people came up to us after the film and asked, “Is this really happening in Prague?” we responded, “it was then, and when you come it will be as well–only differently.”
In October, we brought O:P to the Prague Microfestival, complementing its 3-week interdisciplinary literary and arts festival with a showcase of works from this year and past with installations, films, and works from our community. Thanks to those of you who came to a workshop, attended a happening, or joined at the Czech premiere of Existence is Resistance. We are forever grateful to be given the opportunity to continue to create, share, and explore with you.

And so, 2024—our year of trains, zines, cables, and resistance—closes with hands softened & spirits sharpened. From the smoky haze of Košice to the backrooms of Krakow, the streets of Lviv to the gardens of Žižkov, we found ourselves tangled in the ecstasy of creation and defiance.We’ll carry yr voices in our back pockets, your stories folded into our manifesto, and yr resilience tattooed on the insides of our eyelobes. 2025—come at us sideways. We’ll meet you at the potraviny to fly flags and make noise.
What does it mean to be underground today?
There's on-going discussions, which I may agree or disagree with, that it is not possible to do something 'new' today because everything has already been 'done'. But it's at this very notion 'done' where people tend not to look further. This fixation on the past is a fixation on a text, action, song, or any artefact that happened in the past. Yet, we know, that a text relies on context for it to achieve meaning--and these meanings change, always, and constantly--they happen (and will continue to).
I believe that every action, event, language exchange, etc., is subjected to be received in a new way (because it has never happened in this time & space before). So, this notion of a happening, I believe is precisely what is 'underground' today i.e. any action that relies on the notion that the action won't happen again, and that if it does, it will never be the same.
We see an uprising in this approach towards cultural happenings--and in commerce as well. I mean, just to note the later, this is why companies have found it profitable to have 'pop-ups' i.e. a commercial 'happening' that appropriates the idea that this one-time experience will never be replicated. And as for culture, I have personally seen a shift in popularity from seeing a rehearsed concert that has a rehearsed sound that has a rehearsed set list that has a rehearsed speech that has a rehearsed soundcheck that has a prescribed sound. We already have Spotifiy at home--why do I need to experience it live?
We are, I think, seeking experience--something tangible and temporary to shake us back into reality--a reality that's honest, fragile, and human. These unrehearsed, pragmatic, and, frankly, bad, performances are perhaps the only thing left that is honest in our perfect, glistening, world.
Performance, Context, and the Underground: Reflections on the Prague Microfestival: Exploring the Evolution of Underground Art and Performance in Prague
The 16th annual Prague Microfestival (PMF), themed "Samizdat," took place on the last weekend of October 2024, following a three-week program of 'microlabs'—community-based workshops, performances, and film screenings—held in the basement of Kampus Hybernská in Prague, Czech Republic. OBJECT:PARADISE was invited back this year to design the scenography of the space and to conduct KROTCH Magazine workshops. Additionally, the festival featured the launch of "Existence is Resistance," an experimental documentary film & book co-produced by The Prague Microfestival & OBJECT:PARADISE. However, beyond O:P’s role in the program of this year’s PMF, I’d like to note some of my insights on the festival regarding the space itself and how scenography, itself, can become just as important as the performances themselves.
Our objective was to create an immersive, multi-media space that vistors were invited to get lost in, allowing the saturation of media to pull them into each corner. of the basement--and, eventually, to the performances & happenings in the main space. However, I quickly realized that the festival's success was not just about the curated happenings. The space itself—and the context in which the festival unfolded—was just as vital to the experience. In fact, it might be even more important than the events themselves.
A "blueprint" design of the space & O:P's curation
While the happenings were carefully chosen, we couldn't curate the way people would experience them. A reading might resonate deeply with one person and leave another cold, and that's perfectly okay. Art isn’t an object; it's a subjective experience that happens within a specific moment in time and space. That shared moment—where everything comes together—is something we can influence, and that was our goal.
We wanted this immersive, multi-media environment to encourage the visitors to make the experience their own. To do this, we placed elements throughout the space that invited interaction and exploration. For instance, we set up a microphone in the hallway that transcribed (poorly) the voices it picked up, creating an abstract, living record of the festival. We kept the sounds and visuals running throughout the venue during performances, and we installed a camera at the entrance that labeled every visitor as a poet because, in that moment, they were.
The festival challenged my understanding of performance, especially through one memorable act: Leap Lembo’s piece during the Thursday evening MicroLabs. It involved 24 rolls of toilet paper and a microphone. Lembo began by slowly creating a hole through one roll with his finger. Once through, he held the roll above his head and began unrolling it, the small hole on every ply aligning perfectly with the microphone’s feed. What followed was a series of sounds as he blew air through the roll.
He handed the remaining toilet paper to the audience and encouraged them to do whatever they wanted. What followed was a spontaneous, chaotic, and beautiful moment: people hummed, chanted, and strung toilet paper around the room, connecting with each other and the moment in a visceral, unscripted way. It was messy, loud, and—at times—dark. It was sexual and unrefined, but it was in the moment, and that made it honest. If someone were to watch a recording of it or attempt to 're-enact' the performance, it would likely fall flat. That’s because the magic was in the live, fleeting moment—the unique context that made it feel raw and genuine.
Throughout the entire festival, there were moments that felt like 'happenings'—raw, real, and ephemeral—and moments that felt more like 'featured performances.' It’s the difference between something that takes place within the moment and something that’s carefully staged for an audience. For me, the most powerful moments were the ones that truly 'happened,' where performance and context converged, reminding us of the subjective and transient nature of art and experience.
