Czech artist Eva Kot’átková’s work addresses the social, institutional, and physical structures, rules, and constraints of everyday life that shape how we think, learn, move, and create. Her installation in the North Gallery of Sapieha Palace invites visitors to observe a community meeting in a small Czech town debating the construction of a house for people with disabilities.
