In autumn 2019, the CZECH REPUBLIC CELEBRATED THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF
THE 1989 VELVET REVOLUTION, which ended four decades of communist rule
in the former CZECHOSLOVAKIA. New freedoms have made it easier for
LGBTQ people to live their lives more openly in this Central European
country, yet they still **** significant challenges. Established in
2014, the Society for ***** Memory is the first CZECH ***** archives
and museum. It now holds more than 1,000 objects. Art historian

providing insight into how the HISTORY OF ***** lives and experiences
is being documented and presented in the CZECH REPUBLIC. His talk will

Central Europe has been distinct from the United States. SPEAKER
Ladislav Zikmund-Lender is a CZECH ART HISTORIAN WHO SPECIALIZES IN
ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY AND ***** CULTURAL HISTORY. He is a faculty
