Hidden Mothers: Folklore in the Postmodern World

Not working in Central London any more (or anywhere else for that matter) I do not go to British Czech and Slovak Association talks as much as I used to but this one was unmissable.

I first discovered Czech artist Tereza Buskova approaching twenty years ago and have had a few memorable encounters along the way so I was very keen to see her being interviewed about her recent work.

These were three similar projects; Clipping the Church, Hidden Mothers and Little Queens. All of these were community projects with local people involved in the design and delivery of the events. They also all had a folklore tradition particularly with regard to the costumes, symbols and foods.

Tereza was interviewed about each of these projects and then we saw videos of them which was a delightful way to fill and hour and a half.
