Last week I had the honour to take over the Open Society Foundations Instagram feed
for one week during my work in Roma settlements in the area of Kosice in Slovakia.

In this exhibition under the title “How it started…” we are showing work from
the Ukraine which had been made during the beginning of the conflict. The
opening is on the 28th of May 2014 at 6 p.m. in Prague.
Although Bihari has been blind since childhood, he has begun using a new medium of
expression: photography. He collaborates with photographer Björn Steinz to create images
that share an aspect of the musician’s subjective experience. This exhibition at Pradelna is
titled “Obrazky Duse” and it was first shown in 2004; since then it has traveled with the
support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic to many different countries
worldwide and it has been exhibited in major cities like Los Angeles, Seoul, Oslo, Wroclav,
Dublin and others.
The exhibition will contain a selection of Mario’s images from two projects where he is using
photography and from Björn Steinz, a set of documentary photographs about Mario from the
last 15 years.
The exhibition opening will be on Thursday the 29th of May 2014 in the Smichov (Prague 5)
area, opening reception at 6 p.m.

I just came back from one week teaching at BTK in Berlin. Very inspiring time working
with the students in a wonderful city I visited the last time in 1991. More instagram(s).
