Averklub Collective is a loosely organized group with no fixed structure. Its core is constituted by several residents of the Chanov housing estate, which is considered to be the largest Roma settlement in the Czech Republic. The collective expands and contracts as it sees fit, adapting with various configurations of artists, theorists, and activists depending on current projects and needs.

Manuš Means Human presents the group’s latest research and artworks, produced in collaboration with various generations of residents of the Chanov housing estate.

The exhibition takes its title from Vincent Danihel’s eponymous 1986 book, in which the Czechoslovak communist of Romani origin analyzes the policy of Roma integration in socialist Czechoslovakia. In using the same title for the exhibition, the Averclub Collective want to draw attention to what unites people rather than what divides them: “We want to show that, over and above the multiplicity of cultures, genders, nations, and so on, there exists another level of belonging that is accessible to all without exception.”
