In this year we commemorate a double anniversary of Jaroslav Šabata, an important representative of Brno dissent. At the beginning of November we commemorated his 95th birthday, in mid-June the 10th anniversary of his death. In the same time, there is another anniversary to commemorate – 45 years since the signature of the Declaration Charter 77. Therefore, the Department of the History of Antitotalitarian culture (ODKAZ), that had prepared an autonomous exhibition on the history of the Charter 77 and its first spokespersons in Brno, decided to cooperate with the Masaryk Democratic Academy on a display featuring the life and work of Jaroslav Šabata.
