Denisa Tomková is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Theory of Art and Artworks at the Faculty of Humanities, Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic.
Not only does Tomková de-peripheralize Central Europe by placing local art within the context of feminist histories, she also makes a significant contribution to postsocialist decolonial thought. * Tereza Jiroutová Kynclová, Assistant Professor in the Graduate Program in Gender Studies, Charles University, Czech Republic * Empowering Aesthetics brilliantly illuminates how art confronts surging populism across post-socialist Central Europe, powerfully demonstrating its capacity to amplify marginalized voices, catalyze social transformation, and chart a bold alternative path towards collective liberation. * Christina Schwenkel, Author of Building Socialism: The Afterlife of East German Architecture in Urban Vietnam (2020) * Denisa Tomková’s nuanced analysis highlights tactics of empowerment without forgetting the need for resistance to what constructs and reproduces vulnerability and exclusion in the first place. Her study will be useful to all who see the potential of critical interventions against oppression in the contemporary art field. * Angela Dimitrakaki, Professor of Contemporary Art History and Theory, University of Edinburgh, UK *
