(This article expired 25.06.2016.)

On 20 June 2014, Ambassador Jiří Šitler attended an interactive cultural event organized on the occasion of the Night of Cultural Institutes by the Czech Centre at the Embassy of the Czech Republic. This year the program was prepared together with the Autrian Cultural Forum.

Traditionally, Czech beer was offered during the event which this time included an exhibition of Czechoslovak reading lamps from the 1950´s – 1980´s, an audiovisual mixture of live broadcasting from the other cultural institutes as well as Romanian dancer Paul Dunca´s performace „The Institute of Change” focusing on the personalities related to both the Czech lands and Austria: Franz Kafka and Sigmung Freud. The Austrian Cultural Forum offered the experience of Austria perceived by all five senses, part of which was the reading of Daniel Glattauer´s novel and tasting of Austrian swets. A little further on,  Czech artist Michal Cimala helped the visitors make an original artefact in the form of hammer out of their old mobile phones.
