About this audio guide
This guide to Nová Cvernovka in Bratislava is about a yearly May Day custom and the community of artists who have kept it going. It reaches back to an old thread factory across town, where generations of mostly women workers spun thread, and to the empty halls that creatives later made their own. You'll also hear how a neglected post-war chemistry school came into the story. Best heard in the courtyard, facing the old classroom block.
