Symposium Rooted Everywhere – connecting FFA students and alumni, 7–19 Sep 2026, Distillery, FFA Gallery

From September 7 to 19, 2026, the fourth annual art symposium Rooted Everywhere will take place at the Distillery industrial complex and the FFA Gallery (Galerie FaVU) at Pekařská 78 in Brno, focusing on bringing together and fostering collaboration between FFA students and alumni.

The Rooted Everywhere symposium is organized by the Faculty of Fine Arts at Brno University of Technology in cooperation with the všuderajče collective. Its aim is to create new, often intergenerational, connections between artists and to serve as a space for sharing experiences, opening new dialogues, and artistic collaboration between people who graduated from the same educational institution. The collective also strives to open up discussion on topics such as collaboration, collective practice, and the principles of non-competition. A total of 29 artists will participate in this year's symposium, who were again selected through an open call and divided into six creative groups based on common thematic areas.

This year's symposium will take place again in two phases. The first, internal week will be devoted to intensive collaboration among participants within the author groups and the joint creation of works of art. The second week, from September 15 to 19, 2026, will feature a public accompanying program. The culmination of the joint work of FFA students and alumni will be the opening on Wednesday, September 16, 2026. The exhibition will be open to the public from September 15 to 19.
