Czech Heroines
The exhibition Czech Heroines. Important Women of Czech History and the Present was established in 2020 in cooperation with the Czech Centres and the Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art of the UWB in Pilsen. It brings illustrated portraits of 51 important women, seen through the eyes of the youngest generation of illustrators. The project was inspired by the 100th anniversary of the enactment of equal suffrage for Czechoslovak women in 1920 and the 200th anniversary of the birth of the writer Božena Němcová.
The portraits were created under the direction of Renáta Fučíková, the head of the Didactic Illustration Studio. The authors of the accompanying texts are the historian Lenka Křížová and the writer Kateřina Tučková. The exhibition project follows on from the book publication Hrdinky, which was published in autumn 2020 by Euromedia.
