«Friends of Czech, Polish and Hungarian publicists ask: «How can we aid you?». 1 of the most crucial European centres of Hellerau art in Dresden next year organises a review of Slovak art as part of the series "Nebenan" [besides], dedicated to politically threatened regions. In 2022 the festival was devoted to Belarus, in 2023 Ukraine, this year – Hungary. Yes, we are in the company of countries where democracy and freedom of artistic creation are under threat,” writes the Slovak cultural writer in the text for "Capitál Noviny", which publishes "The Liberal Culture".
