About event
An interactive playfully thoughtful lecture where Adam Kolář, a word designer, shares his love for the Czech language, which he has felt since childhood, and the seed of which is in each of us. And he looks for these seeds and waters them (sometimes he even fertilizes them a lot).
For him, the Czech language is a home that he always carries with him and that warms him, even when he is alone. Even as a child, he closed himself in a notebook and tried everything that the Czech mother would try — how he could rape her nicely from the root, bend her in prefixes and suffixes (and don't forget the ending!) or how he could poetically caress and soothe her soul and those of others. The lecture tickles the brain, strokes the heart and tickles the diaphragm. All you need is wit, openness and a seed of love for the expansiveness and diversity of the Czech Republic.
Adam Kolář is a word designer and poet who fell into the cauldron of words when he was still a boy. After an English grammar school, he studied a bachelor's degree in Dutch and Russian philology only to discover that he really loves the Czech language. Since autumn 2024, he shares his love for her on his Instagram profile as @slovni.navrhar
