ABOUT US

Welcome to the “100 Seconds” Association, where we believe in the transformative power of nature and the importance of community care. Founded in 2020 and inspired by the urgent message of the Doomsday Clock set at 100 seconds to midnight, our mission is to make meaningful strides in protecting our world and ensuring a sustainable future for all.

Guided by a passion for preserving the beauty of our planet and supporting those in need, we approach our work with hope and optimism. By nurturing our local natural environments, providing compassionate assistance to vulnerable individuals, and breathing new life into rural communities through cultural engagement, we strive to create a ripple effect of positive change.

Through hands-on activities, community-driven projects, and a commitment to environmental stewardship, we aim to decelerate the metaphorical second hand of the Doomsday Clock. Together, we can make a difference—one small act of care and connection at a time—bringing joy, healing, and sustainability to our shared world.

Join us in this journey of growth, exploration, and collective impact, where each effort, no matter how small, plays a vital role in the flourishing of our planet and the well-being of humanity.

CULTURE

The 100 seconds association continues the tradition of organizing cultural events, which its member Michal started in 1991. In these more than thirty years, hundreds of cultural events have been organized, whether under the banner of the 2/4 or 100 seconds association. Some with a charitable overhang, some without. Dramaturgically, we focus on alternative projects in a wide range of musical genres, from electronica to jazz to experimental musical acts. The common feature of our events is the high quality, uniqueness and individuality of the presented artistic works. At the same time, our events enliven and diversify life in less exposed places, mostly of a rural character.

For its cultural events, the 100 seconds association uses the remains of the Etna anthracite mine and an old orchard in the village of Lhotice in the district of Lišov, as well as the rectory of the church of St. Peter and Paul in the village of Hosín. Through our activities, we try to redis cover these places and make them accessible to the wider rural community, while at the same time gradually revitalizing them. At the same time, we are using a very strong genius loci and the audience is enjoying this connection very much. The artists we have worked with so far, including BOO, WWW Neurobeat, Květy, Tornádo Lue, Andy the Doorbum, Midi Lidi, Floex, Josef Sedloň or Liron Meyuhas also acknowledge the specific atmosphere of these places.
