architect Prokop Matěj will guide you through the curated collections of artefacts in the bazaars

economy.
Prokop Matěj with the Pawnshops project: Places of marginal economy
he is following up on his thesis research. The roots of the typology of places where
a small financial loan is exchanged for a pledge with interest, they extend to Italy in
15th century. From the original Christian institutions they transformed into
of a pathological phenomenon, as a rule, segregated society. Sites functional today
Brno's bazaars and pawnshops are copied by former industrial peripheries, and although
are in the immediate vicinity of the historical center of Brno, they are often marked
as socially excluded areas.
