The educational programme uses the exhibition Point of View: Identity.
Can truth be objective? Or is it always the result of a subjective perspective? This educational programme explores the thin line between truth, lies, and constructed opinion, especially in the field of human culture and the public space, with which contemporary art is intertwined in its own distinctive way. Participants will be led to reflect on how easily the meaning of information can be shifted in the media space and how contemporary art in particular can use mystification to induce doubt. The program aims to equip participants with basic tools and concepts for recognising manipulation and ambiguity - in art as well as everyday reality. Works of art can reveal how our beliefs and perceptions are shaped by cultural and personal factors and how they can be manipulated to lead us to the "correct" interpretations of reality. And we ourselves welcome it.
The project is funded by the European Union.

Storybox: Melancholy of the Outer Limits
How much does a narrative need illustration and a picture needs a story? At DOX, we believe that a gallery and an exhibition in it is like a big box full of stories and you just have to choose. The programme draws inspirational material from an exhibition of small but impressive paintings by Josef Bolf.
Storybox: Everything Like at the Dawn of the World
How much does narrative need illustration and image need a story? At DOX, we believe that a gallery like this, and the exhibition within it, is like a big box full of stories and all you have to do is choose. The programme draws inspirational material from Kamila Ženata's exhibition of abstract paintings Everything Like at the Dawn of the World.
