About

On the record

I work as expert in cultural and creative industries. I am founder of KUMST, the creative hub in Brno, empowered by JIC. You can say that culture is my thing, as I studied Theatre and Cultural Events Management at the Janáček Academy of Arts (JAMU) in Brno and at Fachhochschule in Potsdam, Germany. Together with my partner, I founded GNOMON Production and participated in the establishment of the Brno Film Agency and the JFNF Film Fund. In the world of theatre, I co-founded Feste Theatre, and cooperated with Professor Ctibor Turba and with director Dušan D. Pařízek in the Divadlo Komedie theatre. Since my internship at Baumwollspinnerei, Leipzig, I’ve been focusing mainly on creative industries and their development. With help from my colleagues, I assisted in the birth of the UPPER creative incubator in Zlín and the Prague Creative Centre. I coordinated and conducted a feasibility study for the Brno Creative Centre and founded the creative hub KUMST, the first creative hub with complex services supporting entrepreneurship in creative industries in Czech republic.
