2022 Czech Workshops
In autumn of 2022, CFAR held a series of four workshops in Czechia – our first mainline workshops since the COVID lockdowns! Organized by John Steidley and Irena Kotíková, these (somewhat experimental) workshops overlapped with Epistea’s concurrent Prague Fall Season project and provided an opportunity for attendees to see both some of CFAR’s classic material and also some of the new concepts we’d been working on since 2020. Running these also helped us refine the direction in which we’ve been taking our workshops and programs.
These workshops were successful, with both participants and staff learning a bunch! In addition, they “kept the fire going” with respect to public-facing workshops, which CFAR hadn’t held in some time.
Thus far these have been the last mainline workshops CFAR taught in Czechia (after having done a workshop or two there each year from 2017 to 2020 plus this set post-COVID crisis), but we’ve enjoyed our time there, met a lot of cool people (both Czechs and otherwise), and may well be back again in the future! Time will tell…
