In the first part of our series, we introduce a trio connected by something perhaps unexpected. Each of them comes from a different background, works with a different medium, and explores different themes. Yet, they all operate in a space where reality begins to blur with imagination, memories, myths, or what remains hidden at first glance.
What do a rapper paying tribute to a late beatmaker, a Slovak multi-instrumentalist awarded by an international jazz jury, and a painter who compares his canvases to a Balkan disco have in common? All three met at Kampus Hybernská in the first half of 2026. And that was just the beginning. The HYB4 Gallery took home the 2025 VIZIUM award, four exhibitions rotated through C.0, and Kampus opened its own art studios for the first time. Read our overview of the first six months of the year. You can find what we have planned for the summer at the end of the article. And there is plenty to look forward to.
Kampus Hybernská is entering a new phase of its development. After nearly two years of preparation, a major reconstruction of the courtyard at Hybernská 4 will begin in the autumn of 2026, transforming the currently paved inner courtyard into a model example of blue-green infrastructure in the heart of Prague's historic center. For Kampus, whose DNA has been built on circularity and sustainability from day one, this is the natural culmination of a nine-year journey.
The HYB4 Galeire at Kampus Hybernská opens an exhibition by painter Jan Vytiska on June 11th. The show invites viewers into a world where folklore and myth meet contemporary imagination, and where one never quite knows what awaits behind the next canvas. The exhibition runs until August 24, 2026. Admission is voluntary.
Welcome to the centre of culture, innovation, art, science and education in the heart of Prague! Kampus Hybernská is a joint project between the City of Prague and the Charles University aimed at exploring new ways of cooperation. Students, artists, scientists, researchers, innovators, and the general public meet here to enrich each other and form new relations and projects, or just to enjoy the cultural program.
The open call for the new HYB4 Art Studios residency program generated significant interest. Twenty-seven individuals and collectives from various artistic disciplines applied, ranging from visual arts, audiovisual and performance work to experimental cross-media projects. An expert committee selected nine whose work stood out for its quality, originality, and clarity of artistic vision.
