When I saw a post by @dadanyc a little while ago, where they announced, that they were coming to Prague, I got really excited with the possibility to meet the famous founders of dada.nyc Beatriz Ramos and Yehudit Mam (holding my breath as I'm writing this!).

Hoping for decent weather, so I could go with the Rocket I just left a comment to find out, if there was even a chance to see them. After a welcoming reply, I started making plans. It quickly turned out, that Prague was pretty booked and that it would be difficult to get a decent place downtown. For my bike. 😑 ...ok, and for me too.

Finally managed to get a room through airbnb close to a public garage and got on my way on a glorious Friday morning... The ride alone was fantastic. Bright sunny indian summer day and dry open roads 😁 Even in Prague, traffic was amazingly friendly and I got to my destination quick and easy. After I parked my bike for almost the same price I paid for my room (!) I contacted the Dada group, which was already there: Bea and Judy from dada.nyc, two of the leading artists on the network, @serste, Serena Stelitano (Serste) and Javier Errecarte and our kind host @furius who is also a passionate artist on dada.

I'm more on the apprentice level...

_{visual conversation between DADA and me}

After we met in a really nice bar and a refreshing drink (🍺) we went over to LUSTR, where a room was prepared for a dada.nyc workshop and presentation. There were beamers projecting visual conversations from the dada website and the organizers even provided an impressive wacom cintiq.

Artist Hatiye Garip from Istanbul was one of the first to try the equipment and start a visual conversation on dada.nyc

At the same time Bea and Javier added some drawings with their own laptops...

@furius was always drawing...

...when he wasn't busy taking excellent care of his "guests". He was also a wonderful "tour guide" and after a lecture held by Bea later that evening he showed us around old town Prage with places, the average tourist hardly ever finds. After dinner, we continued drawing... of course. This time actually on paper (!)... until they started to turn out the lights as a clear sign, that the place was closing.

We continued in another bar, until they too kicked us out at 3:30 in the morning. Hard to believe time went by like this... but it always does, when you are with wonderful people. I am so glad I went and I enjoyed every minute with the group. They all impressed me in their very own way. As wonderful human beings with a vision, passionate to change the world for the better or exceptionally creative artists!

It was really sad, when I packed my bag the next day to go back home. Even with the sun still smiling for another great ride on the Rocket!
