Není růže jako růže
10:30–12:00 Saturday, November 29
Is a picture of a rose the same as a rose? And what about the word rose — does it have a scent, a colour, thorns?
This workshop combines creative art-making with a playful philosophical exploration of language, images and reality. Children discover that the world is not only what we see, but also how we speak about it — and that the meaning of words is far from obvious.
During the workshop, children explore whether images, concepts and ideas are the same as the things themselves — and how they differ. Where does a rose “exist”: in a vase, in our mind, or in language?
Through art-making, word play and gently guided dialogue, children learn to think more carefully about concepts and realise that the same word can mean slightly different things to different people.
Pink Box: We connect philosophy with everyday life and cultivate philosophical well-being. We publish books and offer programmes for schools, companies and individuals. We believe that to understand our actions, we must first understand our thinking.
Age: 6–10 years

Character design lab – Lukáš Freytag
14:45–16:15 Saturday, November 29
The character design workshop focuses on creating original characters and introduces participants to the process of designing within the concept art industry.
The creative process begins with sketching silhouettes — mostly from the front view — with an emphasis on distinct and clearly differentiated overall shapes. Participants then choose the most interesting design, redraw it onto a larger format, and refine it through more detailed line work, light, and shadow.

Creating Heroes From Sketch to Story

Participants will dive into exciting artistic and storytelling techniques to design their very own heroes — complete with unique looks, quirky personalities, and epic backstories.
