Statement on the Dismissal of Alexandra Kusá, Director General of the Slovak National Gallery

Uverejnené dňa 7. August 2024
The Director General of the Slovak National Gallery (SNG), Alexandra Kusá, has received her dismissal decree, delivered today, August 7, 2024, by the Ministry of Culture of the Slovak Republic. The staff of the SNG stands firmly behind Alexandra Kusá, recognizing the immense effort, time, expertise, humanity, innovative vision, and at times, superhuman dedication she has invested in building a national cultural institution that truly understands the real meaning and value of the words "national," "culture," and "institution."

Over the more than 20 years she has served at the SNG, first as a curator and since 2010 as the Director General, she and her team have accomplished a tremendous amount of work. The tangible results of their efforts have significantly impacted the cultural sphere not only throughout Slovakia but have also been widely recognized and appreciated in the international context.

We firmly believe that these values and positives are perceived not only by the SNG team but also by many individuals from various sectors both in Slovakia and abroad. Therefore, we hope that further unjustified dismissals of key figures in leading art institutions, successful managers, and respected experts will not go unnoticed. Culture is not just about exhibitions, theater performances, or concerts; it is primarily a tool and a space where the whole society can move forward.
