contents
Come to our library during the month of April to see a series of eleven portraits of professional caregivers .
The photos were taken by leading Czech photographer Benedikt Renč , who photographs stars at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival , and Simona Bagarová – director and founder of the organization MILA supplemented them with short interviews on the topic of caregiving .
The entire exhibition aims to bring caregiving closer to the general public as a topic that concerns each of us, but which is rather overlooked in society , and at the same time wants to pay tribute to people who have chosen caregiving as their profession or who care for their loved ones .
Simona Bagarová founded the MILA organization in 2018. She subsequently published two books – I BURN and I STEW . The first is a book of interviews with the best caregivers she has ever met, and the second is its loose continuation. It again contains interviews, but this time with people whose lives have been shaped by care in ways other than as a profession. You can find both in our library collection .
You can view the exhibition from April 1 to April 27, 2025 at the Aš Library - adult department. Admission is free.
