All weekendStudio Gallery The exhibition titled PROTEKT reflects on the many parallel narratives of deeply fragmented Hungarian society, which never seem to intersect. These incompatible ways of thinking, interpretations and misconceptions are constituted by the fields of party-political commitments, quasi-ideologies and personality cults.
The focus of the exhibition is the manifold phenomenon of protection: what are the things we should preserve, what we should transfer, or rather what are those we should promote to be forgotten. You can read more about the exhibition at our event page.Masters of Art Nouveau
