Talk | Curator Explores the Czechoslovakian Avant-Garde (In Person AND Online!)


Writer and curator Meghan Forbes explores how Czechoslovakia’s avant-garde group Devětsil used print to spark a cultural revolution. Founded in 1920, Devětsil was an influential association of artists, architects, actors, and poets. United by Marxist politics, its members shared ideas through magazines and almanacs they edited and designed. In her new book Technologies for the Revolution, Meghan Forbes offers a close look at the collaboration between the Czechoslovak avant-garde and print technicians. By examining the interplay of typography, architecture, poetry, photography, film, and performance, Forbes presents a nuanced portrait of the group—highlighting its contributions to European avant-garde culture and its vision of a socialist utopia.
