Charlotta Kotík: I am a firm believer in the duty of artists to voice their opinion

An exhibition of artists who have responded to some kind of political oppression in their work is currently underway at the National Czech and Slovak Museum and Library in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Entitled Artists as Activists, it showcases the works of internationally recognized contemporary artists, including Ai Weiwei, Tania Bruguera or Malik Sajad. The Czech Republic is represented by David Černý.
