The publication Testimonies. In a Female Voice summarizes the outputs of the course at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague during the winter and spring semester 2010/2011 initiated by PATTERNS Lectures. The book is a collection of twelve interviews with Czech and Slovak women artists and art historians.
The interviews capture opinions and life paths of women from different generations. Among them is also the last interview with Jitka Válová, an interview with Professor Milena Bartlová and with internationally recognized Serbian curator Bojana Pejić. Other interviewees were Ilona Németh and Veronika Bromová who represented the Slovak and Czech Republics at the Venice Biennale. The book also contains interviews with respected artists and pedagogues Margita Titlová, Milena Dopitová and Michaela Thelenová. The answers of the women of the younger generation, for example Martina Pachmanová, Lenka Klodová, Jana Štěpánová, Anetta Mona Chişa and Lucia Tkáčová, demonstrate that the role of gender in their work and views of art is becoming more prominent.
