LIVE: Europe and the Velvet Revolution - 30 Years On

In a time where talk of change and revolution is on everyone's lips, we revisit our November 2019 Dash Café, which explored the impact of the 1989 revolution that caused the collapse of the Soviet Union, 30 years on. Through the prism of artists, filmmakers and writers from across the Czech Republic and Slovakia, we asked whether that extraordinary spirit of activism still exists today.Speakers included Tereza Nvotová, Zuzana Kepplová, Ondřej Štindl and diplomat Monika MacDonagh-Pajerova, who discussed the impact of this legacy on their work and whether it continues to have an impact today.This event was created in partnership with the Czech Centre and The Embassy of Slovak Republic, part of events celebrating the 30th anniversary of 1989.The night featured insightful conversation about the countries who revolted and joined the EU, just as we face leaving it.Edited by Martina Šimkovičová, Radio Slovakia International.
