Exciting Interview with Our Team Member Anna-Marie Kroupová!

As scholars, we often spend long hours working solo at our desks, so it’s always a thrill to share our findings with a wider audience!

Anna-Marie recently joined Radio Prague to talk about her PhD research on the artistic exchanges between communist Czechoslovakia and countries in the Global South — particularly the story of art students who came to Prague after 1968.

What do Senegal and a Czech zmijovka hat have in common? More than you might think! If you enjoyed Anna’s recent GloCo blog post about the Senegalese hat, you’ll love her in-depth Radio Prague interview, where she expands on these cultural connections and their lasting significance.

Drawing from her experiences in Vienna, Prague, New York, and Dakar, Anna-Marie offers a unique global perspective on how fashion, ideology, and memory intertwine in these cultural connections — and why they still matter today.
