Inspired by the Pacific Northwest Indigenous tradition of the potlatch—a ceremonial gathering centered on generosity, community, and shared celebration—the event features a symbolic welcome ceremony created in collaboration with Veronika Bromová ²¹²Ô»åÌýAAU Visual Art StudiesÌý²õ³Ù³Ü»å±ð²Ô³Ù²õ.

The event will be hosted by Tony Ozuna, AAU School of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences Senior Lecturer. Refreshments will also be provided by the Café de Taxis. Come celebrate the intersection of contemporary art, nature, and community with fellow students, faculty, and staff as we officially welcome this extraordinary piece to our shared space!

The Czech sculptor Barbora Vovsová originally created Totem for an exhibit in a city park in Rožnov pod Radhoštěm, in the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy mountains region. Totems are best known as a traditional art of the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America, incorporating motifs that symbolize growth, fertility, and abundance. Vovsová explores the structures of materials and living things similarly in her works. The Native Americans (Indians) of the Pacific Northwest Coast (specifically, in Canada‘s British Columbia and the state of Washington, USA) began to have contact with Europeans in the mid 1700s, initially from Spain and Russia, followed by trade with the French, the English and finally Americans (Boston men) as they were called by the natives.

In the courtyard of Anglo-American University (AAU), Totem is welcomed by the surrounding trees, our community of students from around the world, lecturers and staff, along with children and parents of the kindergarten. It is also presented as a symbol of Trans-Atlantic cooperation, key to AAU as an academic institution with American, European, and Czech accreditations.

Once a month, students come together for the least stressful and probably one of the most fun quizzes of the semester: AAU Trivia Night. These events, led by Professor Joel Imhoof, feature teams of up to six who battle for assorted prizes and bragging rights in the glorious attempt to answer questions on all manner of trivia!

Trivia Nights usually have a loose theme, but the questions can come from anywhere and just about any category—music, films, history, nature, books, etc. As for the prizes, first, second, and third place teams take home items of various descriptions, while the fourth place team gets to choose a specialty round for the next quiz!

With free drinks and free entry, this is a very popular event, and the café fills up fast, so come early out and grab a team!
