A Piece for Veronika Pagacova

Early Life and Skating Career

• Ethnographic listening: Pagáčová begins many projects with interviews, home visits, or calls for objects, treating listening as a research methodology that privileges contributors’ voices.
• Iterative prototyping: She prototypes by hand, privileging material tests (stitch samples, clay grog mixes) to let technique guide concept and form.
• Collaborative authorship: Projects frequently credit co-creators — makers, elders, community members — framing authorship as networked and situational rather than singular.
• Low-tech sustainability: Emphasis on reparability, local materials, and processes with low environmental footprint; practice resists planned obsolescence and champions longevity.
