Nature is saturated with a unique energy, which, however, soon begins to transform, first decreasing almost imperceptibly and at the end of August already noticeably weakening, put into the ripening of the first autumn fruits. Our ancestors celebrated this period with cheerful and uninhibited dancing by the fires, collecting medicinal Midsummer herbs and also with ceremonial baths to preserve health. Today, many of these ancient traditions have been forgotten. Perhaps they are completely invalid for today's people, but perhaps, on the contrary, they still have the ability to connect people to the natural cycle. Please accept our warm invitation to a magical celebration of the peak of summer in the center of a parched city. First, Brno-based fashion designer Hana Kubešová and I will create a multifunctional scarf from white linen, into which we will collect Midsummer herbs while wandering through the city together with artist Efemér.
