BEST ART

DEVADE: Prague's Architecture Amidst Austerity and Disco

CAMP's latest exhibition tackles Prague's wildest architectural chapter—the chaotic 15 years between the Velvet Revolution and EU membership, when the city lurched between restrained modernism and garish, wealth-flaunting excess. DEVADE showcases thirty buildings from 1989–2004, from Frank Gehry's Dancing House to the space-age Metro B Bridge and hotels that resemble giant, colorful cakes.

Date: Through May 18, 2026
Location: CAMP
Admission: Free

Ami Vitale: Wild Hope

National Geographic photographer and Nikon Ambassador Ami Vitale is bringing her breathtaking visual storytelling to Prague for an evening. After two decades documenting conflict zones across a hundred countries, Vitale shifted her lens to the frontlines of a different battle: the one between humanity and extinction. Her immersive talk traces journeys across five continents, from Kenya's elephant orphanages to China's panda reserves. The six-time World Press Photo winner and founder of nonprofit Vital Impacts will be at Czech Photo Centre herself to share her stories.

Date: Jan. 29
Location: Czech Photo Centre
Admission: CZK 200

BEST FESTS

Moravian Smoked Meat Festival

Prague's first-ever Moravian Smoked Meat Festival brings generations-old smoking traditions from the country's wine regions straight to the capital. Moravia's best family-run smokehouses arrive with their secret recipes—voňavé uzené (fragrant smoked meat), handmade klobásy, párky, škvarky, and traditional zabijačka delicacies that have been passed down through generations. Watch master butchers and sausage makers at work during cooking shows and DIY workshops where you can try your hand at making your own klobása, then wash it all down with carefully selected Moravian wines served in heated tents.

Date: Jan. 31 to Feb. 1
Location: Trojský pivovar
Admission: CZK 250
Tickets/info: www.moravskeuzene.cz

BEST BEATS

Earl Sweatshirt

The Odd Future alum brings his cipher-level intimacy to Roxy for a Prague debut that promises lean, poetic rap stripped of grandstanding. Earl Sweatshirt's latest album Live Laugh Love folds humor, spirituality, and everyday detail into off-kilter cadences and writerly precision. Tracing a line from Doris through Sick! to his Alchemist collab Voir Dire, Earl balances underground credibility with club energy, delivering performances that prioritize focus and atmosphere.

Date: Jan. 29
Location: Roxy
Admission: From CZK 795

Foil Arms & Hog

A good laugh is exactly what the world could use right now, and Irish sketch trio Foil Arms & Hog aim to deliver with their new show, Skittish. The group, consisting of Sean Finegan, Conor McKenna, and Sean Flanagan, combines observational humor, character-driven sketches, audience interaction, and improvisation into their live shows. Get ready for lots of laughs at their Prague event, where you'll get to witness some of the sketches that have made them a viral sensation online.

BEST FILM

Hamnet

Chloé Zhao's devastating Shakespeare biopic arrives in Prague fresh off eight Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress for Jessie Buckley's force-of-nature performance. The stark period drama reimagines how the death of William Shakespeare's 11-year-old son to bubonic plague shaped the creation of Hamlet, with Paul Mescal as the struggling playwright and Buckley as his wife Agnes, a healer unable to save her own child.

Date: Feb. 1
Location: Edison Filmhub
