Tomorrow starts yesterday
8/10/2009–23/11/2009

At the core of the DOX Fall Season, three exhibitions mark 20 years since the collapse of the communist regime and address the present-day moral and political crisis people face in the Czech Republic. The exhibits raise the question how much the ruling generation and its mentality inherited from the communist past are responsible for the current predicament of the Czech Republic.

It is evident that we can no longer afford to assist the ongoing crisis by being mere spectators. After twenty years, the moment has come when citizens, especially the youngest among us, should remind politicians: We are not children!
