Overview of Activities
Introduction
PRAHO! project was founded in October 2021. Back then, we began placing several dozens of poems in public spaces of the city in the form of stickers, posters, billboards or art installations. Each text carries a unique idea and a QR code that links to a website with several personal or urban questions. Since the launch of the project, we have received over 30 000 confessions. Perhaps because of the fact that the project is anonymous, people share their fears and secrets, send us their poetry, drawings and even short films. It is an incredible collection of opinions, feelings, artistic expressions and thought processes.We then return the confessions back to the city through working with them as part of our implementations.
We create spaces for encounters, collaborations and new forms of cultural expression that are not confined to institutions but become part of everyday life. With each installation we expand our network of collaborators and deepen the ways we make art accessible to the general public.
This document provides an overview of our activities to date – from small, short-term projects to large-scale implementations with long-term impact. It shows how PRAHO! project opens up public space for creation and exchange of ideas, connecting different disciplines and making art accessible to all.
Due to the complex functioning of the organization, not all individuals involved in the executive activities are listed for each project. A complete list of members and their roles is available at this link.
Anonymní intimita
Description of installation
In the vestibule of the Můstek metro station, in collaboration with Zažít město jinak Automat and the Prague Public Transit Company we created an interactive exhibition. Through questions, residents’ testimonies, and visual elements, the exhibition explores physical, mental, and emotional barriers in the city, opens up space for sharing, and serves as a reminder that we can be much closer to each other than it might seem at first glance.

Změny
Description of installation
Our first permanent intervention in public space was the underpass beneath the tram stop Vychovatelna, where, in collaboration with the Academy of Art, we created a visual installation reflecting the climate crisis and the emotions it evokes in us. Thanks to the unique technology of UV vertical ecological printing on tiles, this became the largest installation of its kind in the world.

Conclusion
PRAHO! project is constantly evolving. Every realization, every intervention in public space, and every collaboration pushes the boundaries of how we can understand and share art. Our work is not focused solely on individual projects, but on a long-term change in the perception of art as a natural part of public space – open, inclusive, and accessible to all.
