Visitors will embark on a guided excursion through Prague, inspired by the current exhibition The Call of the Forest by Kristyna and Marek Milde. The walk will explore the historical transformation of urban greenery and its impact on the species composition of plants in parks and forests surrounding Kunsthalle Praha.
Participants will be introduced to selected tree and herbaceous species and their ecological roles within the urban environment. Attention will also be given to how human-shaped city landscapes can unexpectedly influence biodiversity—remarkably high even in the very centre of Prague.
Mgr. Martin Hůla, Ph.D., is a biologist working at Charles University (Faculty of Science, Faculty of Humanities) and at the National Institute of Mental Health. His research focuses on the evolutionary aspects of aesthetic perception of nature, especially flowers, and on the effects of forests on the human psyche.
