A space for all at the National Gallery Prague
kroužek intersekce offers an equipped space for community events, free all summer long
Groups, collectives, as well as individuals seeking a temporary space to host events in Prague are invited to use The Tent, which can be found within the 2026 Biennale Matter of Art exhibition, which is taking place from June 12 to September 13, in the Great Hall of the National Gallery Prague’s Trade Fair Palace.
Initiated by the grassroots reading platform kroužek intersekce, The Tent is a multi-use space for hosting community meetings, educational events, discussions, and more. Equipped with chairs, a loudspeaker, a microphone, a copy machine, and stationery, the space can be borrowed free of charge by anyone. At a time when public spaces are gradually shrinking and access to them is being restricted, The Tent at the Biennale Matter of Art in Prague is a gesture of radical hospitality and openness, demonstrating possible ways to transform public institutions like museums and galleries for the common good.
Tucked away under a tarp, together we dream of a better future. The Tent is a symbol of community, mutuality, and sharing but also of radical resistance and the housing crisis. It is a place where ideas such as mutual care and responsibility are transformed into lived practice, a place where the revolution takes on concrete form through everyday actions.
With The Tent, we are testing the terrain of the contemporary art biennale. The Tent offers visitors to the exhibition the chance to reclaim the space. It is a temporary shelter in which to share stories, engage in collective work, or simply rest—free from the pressures of consumption and consumerism, without the need to pay anything, and with the freedom to determine how to use the space. Our common currency is responsibility toward others.
The Tent offers a venue for lectures, discussions, creative activities, meetings, workshops, and collaborative knowledge creation. You can reserve The Tent free of charge for your group’s needs any time outside of regularly scheduled events. Whether you want to hold a plenary session or just make drawings together, The Tent is here for you.
