A search for beauty and meaning
Meeting in a small Czech town, and inspired by the remarkable artistic and intellectual heritage of the Czech Republic, Under the Linden is a unique summer event. It seeks to celebrate both a stream of cultural expression and a location founded on a strong sense of enduring priorities in both life and art, a sense of creative and experiential value underpinned by curiosity, openness and the expressive search for beauty and meaning.
Artists, writers, film-makers, musicians and thinkers
As the siting, purpose and attendance of the gathering will play as important a role in the success as what is shown, so Under the Linden will provide for a unique meeting of minds and works, where the discreet size of the gathering increases the chance of focus and attention, a place where international artists, writers, film-makers, musicians and thinkers can be in dialogue with informed audiences around shared and ongoing concerns.
Meeting on a human scale
Mixing screenings, readings, concerts, performances and exhibitions, the intimate nature of this event forms an essential part of its vision. In an increasingly fragmented and alienating contemporary landscape, the need for a meeting on a human scale, for an experience that unfolds over several days in a distinctive space and atmosphere, outside of the turbulence and distraction of the modern urban zone, seems more important than ever, and one felt by many people, in numerous ways, worldwide. Under the Linden is about building an international community of mutual intent, about defending and promoting what matters.
Book Now as tickets for this very special gathering are extremely limited.
