[2/2/2009] From the very first biennial held in 2001, Industriální stopy/ Vestiges of Industry has been a platform for the exchange of opinions and for spreading information and awareness about the adapted new use of industrial heritage in the Czech Republic.
The biennial programme is made up of exhibitions, an international expert conference, and cultural events, the objective of which is to explore current themes in the field in order to draw attention to sites that not long ago were neglected and in decline.
The individual events in the biennial programme are largely autonomous and take place in a number of cities at locations connected with defunct or declining industrial activities. In 2009, in addition to Prague, other cities hosting events will include Liberec, Žatec, Ostrava, Kladno, Zlín, Jablonec nad Nisou, Brno and Pilsen.
