Messages Across Time / a collective art installation

Help create a living artwork that reflects the many stories of LGBTQ+ lives across time.

Throughout Pride Week, visitors are invited to contribute to a collective installation made up of several canvases. Each canvas represents a symbolic queer figure from a different moment in history — someone who had to hide their identity, someone who faced persecution, someone experiencing Pride for the first time, someone living in the present, or someone from a future we are still imagining.

These figures are not portraits of specific individuals. Instead, they represent shared experiences, emotions, and memories that connect LGBTQ+ people across generations.
You are invited to leave your mark by drawing, painting, writing, or adding small visual elements. Share a message, a memory, a hope, a fear, a question, or a gesture of solidarity. Every contribution becomes part of a larger story.

The installation also includes the Queer Future Wall, a collaborative space where visitors can respond to prompts such as:

Entrance fee – free

Accessibility – suitable also for teenagers, accessible with a dog, barrier-free

Vibe check – small event (approx. 30 people), indoors

Organized by – Dorado Coffee
Dorado Coffee, a popular café in Kinský Garden, transforms into the Pride Café for Pride Week, offering an inviting programme for English-speaking visitors. Combining a café, gallery, and garden in one space, it provides a unique atmosphere in the heart of Prague.
