Laureates of the Dagmar and V\u00e1clav Havel VIZE 97 Prize:<\/p>\n Iva Moj\u017ei\u0161ov\u00e1<\/b> The desire of young graduate to teach or continue in the university career was unheard because of similar reasons. She refused to attend the graduation ceremony without academic degree; she did not know that this obstinacy would not abandon her until her seventy when she decided to obtain the doctorate.<\/p>\n The scenography, dance (Bauhaus), Euro-American and Czechoslovakian modern style and avant-garde (School of Art Crafts in Bratislava) led her to the first serious meeting with the art. Later, she worked with the Slovak Academy of Sciences.<\/p>\n When the situation changed due to Soviet occupation, she found her place in working on headwords for an academic encyclopaedia and research of newly discovered designs of old theatre decorations in Doln\u00fd Kub\u00edn.<\/p>\n Upon arrival of democracy, she tried to come back to abandoned themes; she wrote articles, essays, books and organized exhibitions.
