Reflecting on two feminist interventions that brought forward women's experiences of studying in Czech art schools, the article examines the unjust hierarchies and power relations that are foundational to the Western institutions of education as well as art. It examines how Czech art schoolsdespite challenging some of these unjust hierarchies and power relations normalised in the wider societynonetheless keep and fortify others, namely the binary gender divide. Following postcolonial and decolonial feminist scholars, the article then employs the analytic of postsocialism. Examining three aspects of Czech art schools -the ideological foundations, the structuring of their pedagogies and the politics of resistance -it renders visible how, in art education, the gender divide entangles with the premises of Western modernity and its hidden logic of coloniality.
