Patriotic exiles in Britain determined to remedy this through multi-faceted entities such as the Czechoslovak Institute, graced by Queen Elizabeth, Queen consort, who attended an exhibition of Wenceslaus Hollar\u2019s engravings. It also hosted contemporary artists such as Friedrich Feigl, Marie-Louise von Motieczky and sculptor Mary Duras, musicians including Vile\u0301m Tausky\u0301. But the Communist-inspired Czechoslovak-British Friendship Club, the Czechoslovak Army\u2019s SOKOL branch, and regional clubs played a vital role too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Dr Jana Barbora Buresova is a committee member of the Research Centre for German and Austrian Exile Studies at the University of London. In addition to post-doctoral research, she is actively involved in the Association of Jewish Refugees Audio-Visual Testimony Archive project. Her key areas of interest are political exiles past and present, particularly Czechoslovak women in exile, on which she has spoken and contributed to a number of publications.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Celebration of Czechoslovak Culture in Wartime Britain An Illustrated Talk by Jana Buresova Tuesday 9th October 2018 at 6.30pm in the Embassy of the Czech Republic, 26-30 Kensington Palace Gardens, London W8 4QY EVENT ORGANISED WITH THE COOPERATION OF THE EMBASSY OF THE CZECH REPUBLIC&hellip; <a class=\"read-more-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.velehrad.org.uk\/?p=7124\">\u010ct\u011bte v\u00edce<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7127,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7124","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-novinky"],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.velehrad.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7124","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.velehrad.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.velehrad.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.velehrad.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.velehrad.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7124"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.velehrad.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7124\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7128,"href":"http:\/\/www.velehrad.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7124\/revisions\/7128"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.velehrad.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/7127"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.velehrad.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7124"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.velehrad.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7124"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.velehrad.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7124"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
