The creative group Setkání (Meeting) was established in 1976 by 10 professional and amateur photographers from all over the Czech Republic: P. Balíček, M. Bílek, M. Borovička, R. Košťál, T. Kuščynský, M. Michl, M. Myška, P. Sikula , M. Tůma and V. Weinertová. They did not have an exact artistic program, they wanted to build creative dialogues among authors, to search for new impulses, to organize exhibitions together, and to publish catalogues or almanacs and exchange photographs. The result of these exchange events, which took place in 1977 and 1983, were albums of vintage prints by more than 50 photographers who chose their typical motifs. The number of copies was just almost the same as the number of the artists involved.
