Dina Spokij & Florián Synák

In this 44th episode of the HIDDEN Podcast, we meet Dina Spokij and Florián Synák, whose collaboration shaped the soft yet powerful exhibition Domeček pod dekou, presented at HIDDEN AVU.

Recorded directly inside the installation, this conversation unfolds between artist Dina Spokij, curator Florián Synák, and returning guest Kamil Princ, who joined as co-host alongside Filip Kartousek. Together, they reflect on the emotional function of painting, the symbolism of fabric, and the tension between personal vulnerability and public space.

Dina, originally from Ukraine, shares her experience transitioning from FaVU in Brno to a semester at AVU in Prague. Florián, a sculptor and installation artist, brings insight into curating as a form of care and dialogue. The discussion moves fluidly through themes of emotional resilience, spatial softness, and the realities of navigating Czech art academies.
