About the publication:
Narratives of Closeness and Distance
from Central‐Eastern Europeand South‐Eastern Africa - a Multicontextual Patchwork
By bringing together artists, scholars and practitioners from diverse contexts and countries (Slovakia, Hungary, Poland, Czechia, Uganda, Tanzania, and Zambia) who search for common points and connections in intercontinental history, memories, art, science and fine literature, we were searching for innovative ways of looking at that which is near and far, while exploring the world of Central and Eastern Europe (i.e. Czechia, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia) and South-Eastern Africa (i.e. Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia).
