Šárka Zahálková is an artist, curator, cultural manager, and activist. Her work is driven by a long-standing interest in art as a tool for social change, art in public space, acoustic ecology, and collective, non-hierarchical collaboration across disciplines. She is particularly engaged with the social and environmental turn in the arts. Walking, listening, and a conscious, sensitive engagement with place—together with interactions with communities, artists, architects, and theorists—form the foundation of her artistic and curatorial practice. In her own work, she moves fluidly between drawing, time-based media, installations, sound art, and community-oriented participatory projects. She holds a PhD from the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague.
