Petr Dlouhý

Petr Dlouhý is a Prague-based curator, researcher, producer, and host in the field of independent performing arts. Working within diverse scales ranging from DIY initiatives to established institutions, his activities aim to break the spell of gatekept resources and build structures of mutual support. His tools utilise event organising, tarot readings, and community building. Petr’s interests are nourished by projects that embrace curiosity, social justice, and mutual learning.

In the residency, Petr continues to unwrap his research on Hospitality in Performing Arts. Applying the lens of hospitality to his curatorial practice, he searches for pathways to nurture a welcoming culture of institutions towards artists, audiences and fellow culture workers. Throughout the research, he names and identifies different tools that can be used to form stronger relationships and embrace the sense of belonging.
