If you regularly take the Prague tram between Čechův Most and Nábřeží Kapitána Jaroše, you may have noticed the giant pieces of artwork on display in the niches of the wall that runs parallel to the Vltava river below Letná. Until June 6, those spaces are being occupied by Markéta Garai’s exhibition With(out) Care, a commentary on the stigmatisation of sex workers and the ecological impact of the global flower trade.

Sex work operates in a legal grey zone in Czechia, with the provision of erotic services neither prohibited nor permitted by law. In practice, this means that those employed in the industry are not protected under the law financially or from workplace harassment or abuse.
