Hana Janečková

Hana Janečková is a researcher and curator currently working on ecology and feminism, technology and the politics of care in contemporary art. She is Associate Professor of modern and contemporary art, moving image and curating at the Centre for Audiovisual Studies, Academy of Performing Arts, Prague and the head curator at Display Association for Art and Collective Practice, Prague, Czech Republic. Her research project is centered on the politics of the body in contemporary art – with subjects such as health, sexuality, disability, reproduction, illness and care – and the way U.S. based artists and art institutions responded to these issues within the wider framework of transnational and decolonial feminisms. Janečková’s scholarly research while in the US is supported by a Fulbright-Masaryk Award.
