Whose Problem Is It?: Guided tour of the exhibition

Guided tour of the exhibition Whose Problem Is It? Homelessness between Prague and New York with Janek Rous, co-author of the exhibition.

These days, we see homeless people as an everyday feature of the street. Their numbers are increasing, paradoxically in wealthier cities especially. Whether we are walking through Prague or New York, the situation is the same, the only difference being the number of people in dire straits and the system in which they find themselves.

The exhibition Whose Problem Is It? is a collaboration between the architect Karolína Kripnerová and the artist Janek Rous. Both have long been interested in social issues such as unaffordable housing, exclusion and homelessness, from the perspective of both architecture and contemporary art.

Janek Rous is an audiovisual artist and lecturer at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague.
