Dita Pepe, Barbora Baronová – O japonských slečnách

11. 5. 2026
It is striking how timeless material collected twelve years ago can feel within today’s enormously accelerated present. Emancipation, the growing phenomenon of single women, financial independence, sexuality, the right to self-determination, conscious time for oneself, time for family, relationships, relationships with men, declining birth rates, care for children and ageing parents. These phenomena demonstrate that the lives and opinions of women in Japan can be, perhaps surprisingly, almost identical to those here and elsewhere. The book possesses a rare gift – it speaks a universal language while losing none of the richness and specificity of detail.

Editor’s Picks by Markéta Kinterová
For me, photography is above all a way of looking at the world around us. Through this lens, I have put together the following selection of five articles. I tried to reflect what interests me and, to some extent, what is currently happening in the world and worth thinking about. These are not exactly light topics, but they are all around us and should not be overlooked. I also included two of my favorite sections: shorter formats that I enjoy reading because, even in their condensed form, they capture a compelling phenomenon or perspective.

Portfolio review: how to make the most of 20 minutes
What is a portfolio review, really? It’s a meeting that often lasts no more than twenty minutes. For some, it’s an unusual format — something between a professional consultation and a kind of informal speed dating. On one side are artists, on the other are professionals from the field: curators, editors, gallerists, offering their attention, experience, and above all, feedback. So how can you make the most of those twenty minutes?

Talk Together
Talk to her. Talk to him. Talk to them. Talk to yourself. The first statement is also the title of a beautiful film by Pedro Almodóvar, whose message suggests that true understanding often arises even when words fall short. I often think that if we simply followed that instruction, we could prevent numerous relational or societal crises regardless of gender or context. And so, the title for this issue, dedicated to the theme of language, came naturally: Talk Together.
