The biggest annual design festival in the Czech Republic, Designblok, gets underway in Prague on Wednesday. Due to the state of emergency, the 22nd edition of the event is limited to exhibitions, the accompanying lectures, workshops and events having had to be cancelled. I caught up with the festival’s director, Jana Zielinski, at Designblok’s new centre, a former monastery of Saint Gabriel at Prague’s District of Smíchov, and I started by asking her about the choice of this year’s main theme, Passion.
