For the "Succulents in Interiors" exhibition, we have prepared an exciting festival program that will take place on the weekend of 15 and 16 June. During these two days, you will have the opportunity to discover not only the beauty and wildness of Africa but also immerse yourself in its flavors and scents.
You can look forward to tasting traditional African dishes, participating in various creative workshops, enjoying the tones of African music, or dancing to the rhythm of Africa led by a dance group from the distant Congo. The festival atmosphere will be enriched by several lectures, where experienced travelers will take you on an adventure to Kenya, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Congo, and Rwanda through their stories and photographs. Namibia will be showcased through the lens of photographer Igor Janíček in a panel exhibition.
