The Tititi Pioneers exhibition at High Craft Designblok 25 is a first in several ways. The installation, created in collaboration with architect Daniela Baráčková from the NoArchitects studio, responds for the first time to the architecture of the space, specifically the paving of Queen Anne’s Summer Palace. Tereza Talichová used not only painting techniques but also airbrushing for the first time. And for the first time, she dared to present large-format characters measuring forty centimeters. These are women with a strong presence! There are twelve of them in total, and it was only after she had created them that she realized that they were mostly American women. In the last century, it was most often women who overcame social or physical barriers, whether it was the first female traffic police officer Leola N. King, swimmer Gertrude Ederle, who swam across the English Channel, astronaut Anna Lee Fisher, who became the first mother in space, or runner Kathrine Switzer, whom the organizers tried to remove from the Boston Marathon course and who had to register under a male name in order to participate.

Tititi Pionýrek could be a representative of all continents. Each of these characters represents millions of others, including you, who are not written about, but who nevertheless change the course of events through their actions.
