Once again, Tempo collaborates with Centrum för fotografi to highlight documentary photography within the festival program.
In the exhibition T-Club, photographer Libuše Jarcovjáková invites visitors into the colorful and vibrant community of the legendary T-Club. Using her sharp flash, she captures the events, atmosphere, and personalities of this famous bar in stark black-and-white images. Taken between 1983 and 1985 in communist Prague, these photographs depict everyday life and joy beyond social class and gender identity.
Libuše Jarcovjáková has been photographing since the 1970s, documenting her life, emotions, and surroundings through visually striking images. Over the years, she has captured the LGBTQ+ community as well as Roma and Vietnamese groups in Czechoslovakia.
The exhibition and program are organized in collaboration with The Czech Centre Stockholm, with support from the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Stockholm.
Parallel to the exhibition, Tempo Documentary Festival presents I’m Not Everything I Want to Be, a film based on the photographer’s life and photography.
