Join us for a thought-provoking evening with artist, filmmaker, and researcher Dr. Tereza Stehlíková, as she reflects on the influence of Mircea Eliade’s The Sacred and the Profane on her artistic and academic journey.
Eliade’s seminal work explores the fundamental human need to make sense of the world through sacred time, ritual, and myth. Dr. Stehlíková will discuss how these ideas intersect with her own creative practice, which focuses on sensory perception, embodiment, and lived experience. From her tactile explorations of memory to her multi-sensory film projects, she will share how Eliade’s distinction between the sacred and the everyday continues to inspire and challenge contemporary approaches to art and research.
This intimate talk will offer insights into the dialogue between philosophy, spirituality, and sensory creativity, inviting us to rethink how our bodies and senses shape our understanding of the world. The evening will conclude with an open Q&A, giving the audience a chance to engage directly with Dr. Stehlíková’s unique perspective.
