In addition to high-quality exhibitions of contemporary art, cultural programmes and gastronomy, the Telegraph offers a wealth of educational materials that you can use in your teaching. We provide audio and video recordings of our lecture series, we produce a podcast with interesting guests from outside the art world and last but not least we also produce short films.
Artist Presentation
The lecture series focuses on individual artists or curators who allow the audience to peek behind the curtain of their own work during the lecture. Some of them explain their individual works, others explain entire conceptual series or life's work. Questions from the audience are an essential part of this series, encouraging the artists to further reveal details of their work - we have recorded these too, of course. Invited guests include artists from exhibitions at the Telegraph Gallery, as well as artists in residence.
Speakers have already included:
Tomáš Ruller / Jiří David / Michal Gabriel / Daniel Balabán / Zuzana Svatik / Andrej Dúbravsky / Margita Titlova Ylovsky / Jan Hísek / Søren Dahlgaard / Václav Buchtelík & Samuel Kollárik / Marek Galbavý & Sabina Knetlová & Patrik Adamec / Petr Vaňous / Rita Koszorús, Jakub Sýkora, Ladislav Daněk
Promotion in the Creative Industries
In this seven-part series, we reached out to experts in the field of promotion in the creative industries who know how to sell not only their work, but also themselves. The individual lectures were designed as debates between two to three speakers who together reflect on the question of whether or how creatives can also be good marketers. The series is suitable for all students who want to move on in the promotion and marketing of their creative endeavours.
The lectures delivered so far include:
Anna Leschinger, Lucie Jindrák Skřivánková, Vojtěch Fiala / Bára Alex Kašparová, Stanislav Ondruš, Ondřej Čížek / Renata Jančo, Ondřej Vicena, Kateřina Janků / Veronika Švábeníková, Tereza Št'astná, Natália Císařovská
Contemporary Art Collecting
If your teaching focuses more on the production side of gallery operations, you might be interested in our lecture series called Contemporary Art Collecting. Through lectures, students will learn the stories of collectors at the beginning of their collecting careers as well as renowned collectors, curators and experts in contemporary art investment. They will learn directly from them how they started collecting, how they build their collections, or what their criteria are when selecting specific works.
The following have already lectured in the series:
Nikolas Bernáth / Bára Vanicka Čápová / Tomas Umriam / Zuzana & Pavol Weiss / Lucie Havlová & Tomáš Hendrych / Pavel Kosař & Miroslav Jiřele / Jan Dotřel / Blanka Čermáková / Vladimir Beskid / Tomáš Ciba / Pavel Kubesa / Barbora Půlpánová / Patrik Šimon / Petr Hajek / Alexandra Karpuchina / Lucie Drdova & Nicole Stava / Robert Runták
TLG Podcast
The Telegraph also produces a podcast in which we invite guests from the arts sector and beyond. Host Ondřej Riffler, who worked for several years on the editorial team of Prague's Czechmag magazine, interviews our guests about the behind-the-scenes of theatre and film production, the art market, and the beginnings of those who are now leaders in their fields. There is something for everyone.

The documentary Connection: Making the Indescribable
This short documentary film is based on the exhibition Connection, which took place at the Telegraph Gallery at the turn of 2023 and 2024. Through interviews, the documentary reveals the essence of the imagination of Czech authors of different generations, whose work is an intimate testimony to spiritual experiences. You can arrange a screening of the film with your class at our Telegraph Cinema, or invite us directly to your classroom – perhaps with an accompanying discussion with director Michael Bukovanský or film producer Erika Kovačičová.
The documentary GOOD BOY from Slovakia
The 2025 short film is about Slovak painter Andrej Dúbravský, who had a GOOD BOY exhibition at the Telegraph Gallery in 2024. The film documents the artist's reaction to events in the cultural sector in Slovakia, from the Slovak Minister of Culture's reaction to a painting of two men kissing, to public protests. It is thus not only a film documenting the creation of the exhibition, the paintings on display, or the work of Andrej Dúbravský, but also a documentary that goes beyond the exhibition and analyses the socio-political situation in Slovakia at the time. You can arrange a screening of the film with your class at our Telegraph Cinema, or invite us directly to your classroom - perhaps with an accompanying discussion with the director, Michael Bukovansky, or the film's producer, Erika Kovacic.
Documentary FLOTSAM & JETSAM & NEOLIBERALITHICS
This short film captures British artist Jake Chapman's first solo exhibition in the Czech Republic, who is best known for his earlier collaborations with his brother as part of the Chapman Brothers duo. The exhibition FLOTSAM & JETSAM is guided by curator Mark Sanders, who also becomes one of the actors in an impromptu concert held on the occasion of the exhibition's opening and the Telegraph's fifth birthday. The one-man band NEOLIBERALITHICS brings together Jake Chapman, Mark Sanders and artists from the following exhibition, Søren Dahlgaard and Jakub Janovsky. The film thus functions as both a record and aftermovie of sorts for the evening, interweaving a close-up of the exhibition, music, and yoga classes.
