SUMMARY:Roma Routes - Art\, Identity\, and Expression from Hungary - Free Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Join us on 8 April to mark International Roma Day for Roma Routes\, an evening of photography\, film\, and contemporary art exploring the journeys that shape Roma identity. Bringing together documentary work from a collaborative project in Tiszavasvári\, Hungary\, and artistic reflections by London-based Roma artist Robert Czibi\, the exhibition traces connections between place\, memory\, and belonging. Through images\, stories\, and personal perspectives\, Roma Routes invites audiences to reflect on how identity is shaped between the places we come from and the places we continue to become. \nThis exhibition brings together two intertwined narratives: the story of a segregated Roma community in Tiszavasvári\, and that of an artist born in another Roma neighbourhood in the same region who has carried its memory across borders. \nThe first story is that of collaboration: stepping across internal borders between the countryside and the Hungarian capital\, Budapest\, to involve participants from the Roma neighbourhood of a small town in the North-East of Hungary in a collaborative writing project with local non-Roma residents through the publication of the periodical Duj Dzséne – Ketten – Two Together. \nThe second story is of the artist\, Robert Czibi who crossed internal borders of identity and the physical borders of countries on many occasions before finding his expressive voice in the multiplicity of London’s lingua-culture. The simultaneity of identity as rootedness in Roma origins and identity as motion and interaction with our surroundings is what unites the two narratives that unfold in the images exhibited together. \n\nThe Road Ahead\nDocumentary and Photography Projects from Hungary – Film and photography \nThis photo exhibition was created in collaboration between photojournalist Márton Kállai\, multiple-winner of the Hungarian Press Photo Competition\, and the Tiszavasvári Roma Girls’ Youth Club\, on the initiative of the KRE Linguistic Diversity and Social Participation research group at Károli Gáspár University in Budapest. Together\, Roma and non-Roma participants from Tiszavasvári and Budapest write and publish the journal Duj Dzséne – Ketten – Two Together\, creating a narrative of trust and belonging about Roma futures and the coexistence of Roma and non-Roma in Hungary. The documentary film Duj Dzséne – Ketten – Two Together: Stories of a collaborative journal in support of Roma social participation showcases stages from their journey together: how they forged a collaborative writing and research collective across the borders of identity that separate people living alongside each other. \n\n\nThere I Was Born\, Here I Become\nContemporary Art \nRobert Czibi’s artistic response unfolds as a parallel journey alongside the documentary and the photos. Although Robert’s works reflect his individual journey as a London-based Roma artist from Hungary\, his journey explores the potentialities that open up when collectives or individuals persistently criss-cross and interrogate physical and narrative borders of identity. Through his works\, he returns to the landscapes of his childhood not only to remember\, but to understand how identity is formed between the place of birth and the place of becoming. Through images\, he explores what it means to grow up in a Roma family\, to leave it behind\, and to continue carrying its imprint in his works. Together\, his artworks create a dialogue between here and there\, between collective memory and personal transformation. \n\n\nProgramme \n\n18:30 – Film screening (25 minutes)\n19:00 – Panel discussion – The Road Ahead – Documentary and Photography Projects from Hungary\n19:30 – There I Was Born\, Here I Become – Private view\n21:00 – End of Event\n\n\n\nWe warmly invite audiences to join us for an evening of photography\, film and contemporary art marking International Roma Day. Through documentary images\, collaborative storytelling and personal artistic reflection\, Roma Routes opens a space to engage with questions of identity\, belonging\, and the journeys that shape Roma lives across places and generations. \nThe exhibition offers an opportunity to encounter the voices and perspectives behind these projects and to reflect on how communities and individuals navigate the paths between heritage\, memory and new beginnings. \nRegistration is open via Eventbrite. \nThe event is supported by the National Research\, Development and Innovation Office – Hungary and organised by the Liszt Institute London

SUMMARY:Meet the artist - Guided Tour & Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Led by Géza Starmüller\, this workshop takes a participatory artistic format\, fostering direct dialogue between artists and audiences. Participants are encouraged to engage in shared creative processes and moderated discussions\, exploring themes of philosophy\, history\, and contemporary art. The programme moves beyond traditional presentation models\, emphasising collaboration\, critical thinking\, and collective reflection in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. \nThe guided tour offers an open platform where artistic practice and intellectual exchange meet in a live\, communal\, and warm setting. \n\n\nGéza Starmüller (b. 1966\, Cluj) is a contemporary visual artist and sculptor based in Transylvania. The fourth generation of artists in his family\, his practice is rooted in a lifelong engagement with art\, supported by both family heritage and formal training. He studied sculpture at the University of Art and Design in Cluj-Napoca and further developed his practice through private mentorships and international art camps. \nWorking primarily with conceptual and spiritual foundations\, his artistic language unfolds through oil painting and bronze sculpture\, and more occasionally through stone and wood. His work explores the moment when spirit penetrates matter\, an approach he defines as cosmic surrealism. Influenced by philosophy\, diverse cultures\, personal life experience\, and place\, his creative process often begins with an intuitive vision that matures over the years into its final form. \nStarmüller has participated in numerous national and international group exhibitions and has contributed to major public art projects\, including the restoration of the Statue of Liberty in Arad\, as well as other monuments in Romania and abroad.

DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of literary conversation as Tibor Fischer\, the acclaimed British-Hungarian novelist\, discusses his latest book My Bags Are Big with prize-winning writer and creative writing tutor Peter Benson.

SUMMARY:Shadow Fate - Theatre Performance for the Day of Hungarian Culture
DESCRIPTION:On the occasion of the Day of Hungarian Culture\, we warmly invite you to the one-act performance\, Shadow Fate on January 22\, 2026\, at Hungary House\, produced by Klebelsberg Castle Chamber Theatre. \n\n \n\nThe drama is based on the diary ‘Our Life Path’ by Sarolta Botka\, wife of Kuno von Klebelsberg. Through her perspective\, the audience can get a glimpse into the daily life of this exceptional politician and his love and marriage\, revealing a tableau of the 20th century’s dramas—from the fall of the Monarchy and Trianon\, through the two world wars\, to communist deportation. Sarolta’s viewpoint illuminates Klebelsberg’s human character and achievements\, while her post-WWII ordeals as a widow highlight the paradoxical cruelty of communism. \nFollowing her successful drama Ilona Zrinyi\, Mária Hedry brings this tumultuous life to the stage: Klebelsberg’s figure and his era’s contradictions take center stage through Sarolta’s lonely fate. The play draws on scholarly research—including works by Gábor Ujvári\, István Bethlen\, and Ignác Romsics—alongside contemporary sources\, enriched by the author’s imagination. \nCount Kuno von Klebelsberg (1875–1932) was a defining cultural politician of interwar Hungary. As Minister of Religion and Public Education (1922–1931)\, he implemented reforms to address Trianon losses: building thousands of rural schools\, modernising universities\, promoting folk education\, and founding overseas cultural institutes (Collegium Hungaricum) for national survival. \nThe 80-minute\, one-act performance will be performed in Hungarian with English subtitles. \n\n\nCast: \n\nSarolta: Edit Majzik\nEmma\, Márta\, Hubayné\, Róza\, peasant woman: Delinke Gajdó\nSzentgyörgyi\, doctor\, German officer\, Russian officer\, Hungarian comrade: Attila Petneházy\n\nSet\, costumes: Katalin Libor\nDirector: Attila Petneházy

SUMMARY:Conversations around the kitchen table: Kincső Bede
DESCRIPTION:On photography\, belonging\, inherited histories\, and the launch of Porcelain and Wool.\n\n\n\nJoin us for a conversation between curator Catherine Troiano and Kincső Bede\, exploring Bede’s photographic practice and its intersection with questions of belonging and legacy. \nA Hungarian visual artist from Romania\, Bede is fascinated by the communist past of her homeland. Her work evokes a personal view on collective histories that carved a deep chasm between generations: that of her parents\, who lived through communism and the regime change\, and that of Bede\, who inherited their stories\, experiences and their trauma. Bede’s practice delves into the complexities of cultural heritage\, in a bid to move closer to her parents and the versions of their lives dominated by the voice\, fears\, desires\, secrets and paranoia of Nicolae Ceaușescu and his Securitate. \nIn this conversation with Troiano\, Bede will reflect on her experience as part of the Székely Hungarian minority in Transylvania\, Romania\, and how photography has mediated her view of tradition\, self-definition and faith: ‘my parents’ best-kept secret was their beliefs\, their language\, and their souls. This is me.’ \nThe event is organised in collaboration with the V&A on the occasion of the symposium Fluid Futures: Recalibrating Land and History in Global Eastern Europe (29th November\, V&A South Kensington). It also celebrates the recent publication of Bede’s monograph Porcelain and Wool (Hectic Books\, 2025). The book’s title symbolises a delicate balance—porcelain representing fragility and refinement\, while wool conveying warmth and resilience. Bede’s photographic style weaves together these contrasts\, employing intimate storytelling to question inherited cultural codes while reimagining her place within them. Her work captures a tension between pride and critique\, juxtaposing rural environments with modern elements to create an interplay between past and present that is is central to Bede’s practice. Through scattered vignettes of traditional motifs and reinterpreted family stories\, viewers are invited to assemble the fragmented pieces into a cohesive whole. \nAfter the conversation\, we are holding a casual meet and greet\, where attendees will have the chance to buy the book and get it signed. \nKincső Bede (b.1995) is a Hungarian visual artist from Romania\, who grew up in a small city in Transylvania. She is fascinated by the communist past of her homeland\, the power of the leader Nicolae Ceaușescu\, the control exercised by the security agency Securitate\, and how this history is passed down across the generations. Currently\, Bede lives and works in Budapest\, Hungary and she studied at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design. She is part of the Studio of Young Photographers. In 2020 she won the photography scholarship of the Association of Hungarian Photographers. In the same year she was among the winners of Carte Blanche Students\, a scholarship founded by Paris Photo. The works of the four winners were exhibited at the Parisian Gare du Nord. Her series\, titled ’’Three Colours I Know in This World’’ was chosen for the 10 New Talent 2020 programme by the curators of BredaPhoto Festival and was exhibited in The Netherlands. She has exhibited in several cities of Hungary\, Romania\, Slovakia\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, France\, Italy and the US. In 2021\, thanks to TOBE Gallery\, she exhibits at Unseen Amsterdam and she is selected for Paris Photo fair’s Curiosa sector\, curated by Shoair Mavlian. In 2022\, her photographs are exhibited at PhotoVogue Festival Milan. In 2023\, she participates in the show “Self on Stage” in Galeria Anita Beckers Frankfurt. Anthony Vaccarello curates an exhibition for her at Saint Laurent Rive Droite\, Paris and at YSL Beverly Hills LA\, and on the same occasion YSL publishes her fanzine. Bede is nominated for the Esterhazy Art Award and thus exhibits in Ludwig Museum Budapest. In 2024\, hECTIC bOOKs launches her first photobook\, displaying her œuvre to date. In 2025\, she presents her large-scale solo show: The Art of Pista in the frame of OFF-Biennale Budapest. The works of Kincső Bede are now part of collections of several important European institutions like: Victoria & Albert Museum – London\, Hungarian National Gallery – Budapest\, MODEM Center for Modern and Contemporary Art – Debrecen. Her photos are regularly in the printed press\, such as The Art Newspaper\, Vogue\, European Photography Magazine\, Another Man\, Der Greif\, Gup Magazine and The Steidz\, Hotpotatonews\, Grandmama’s Print etc. \nFrom 2020 she is represented by TOBE Gallery\, in Budapest. \nDr Catherine Troiano is Curator of Photography at the Victoria and Albert Museum\, London. She co-curates the programme in the V&A Photography Centre\, spanning the nineteenth century to contemporary and digital practices\, and has curated several displays in these major new spaces since the Photography Centre launched across two phases in 2018 and 2023. She was previously Assistant Curator of Photography at the V&A and Curator of National Photography Collections at the National Trust. She publishes and presents regularly on aspects of contemporary practice\, digital culture\, and photographic or institutional history\, and she holds a PhD in Visual Culture from the Photographic History Research Centre at De Montfort University\, Leicester.

SUMMARY:Albert Kner – Artist\, Icon\, Legend
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special evening celebrating the book Albert Kner: Artist\, Icon\, Legend: Discovering His Legacy in Industrial Design\, co-authored by Robert Elton Brooker III and Ádám Erdész. This beautifully produced volume brings long-overdue recognition to one of the 20th century’s unsung creative minds. \nAlbert Kner (1899–1976) was a Hungarian-American designer whose work shaped modern packaging and graphic design. From inventing the cardboard six-pack and the flip-top cigarette box to producing compelling stage sets\, furniture\, and printed matter\, Kner’s contribution to visual culture is both diverse and visionary\, yet remains largely unknown. \nThis event will contain a presentation by Robert Brooker III on Kner’s extraordinary life and career\, tracing his journey from early typographic experimentation in Hungary to his post-war success as Design Director for America’s largest cardboard manufacturer\, where he was tasked with an unusual but inspiring challenge: make cardboard beautiful. \nThe book includes 112 striking illustrations in black and white and full colour\, showcasing Kner’s elegant\, often ahead-of-his-time design work. As designer and author Bruce Kennett writes\, “Brooker and Erdész have done a superb job in presenting Kner’s remarkable life in all its phases… A wonderful book from start to finish.” \nDon’t miss this opportunity to rediscover a hidden gem of 20th-century design history – book your spot now.

SUMMARY:CROSS-SECTION - Introducing the Érd Collective
DESCRIPTION:Liszt Institute London is delighted to present Cross-Section\, our first group show\, bringing together 17 Hungarian artists. \nEmbarking on an exciting new journey at the Liszt Institute London\, as we open our renewed gallery space to the wider public\, Cross-Section marks our inaugural group exhibition\, presenting a compelling and diverse selection of artworks. \nThe Érd Collective was born in the rapidly expanding commuter town of Érd\, located on the outskirts of Budapest. With no established traditions\, renowned predecessors\, or a thriving local art scene to provide a foundation for a small group of artists to collaboratively organise artistic work\, it is a truly exceptional artists’ colony. Founded in 2009 by 8 painters\, with a commitment to artistic integrity\, the group deliberately distanced itself from stylistic trends and commercial pressures. \nOver the years\, close personal relationships have formed among the 13 to 15 artists who participate annually. These bonds\, coupled with the distinctive and authentic artistic voices of each member\, have profoundly shaped the work produced during their residencies. The exhibition features a rich spectrum of painterly approaches — from non-figurative to representational\, constructive to expressive — each driven by individual internal impulses and shaped by diverse stylistic directions. \nBeyond fostering collaborative artistic practice\, one of the primary aims of the collective has been the creation of a contemporary art collection drawn from participants’ works. Today\, this carefully curated and ever-growing collection — now comprising over 150 pieces — offers a focused and insightful cross-section of contemporary Hungarian painting. \nWe are proud to showcase the paintings of 17 artists from the Érd Collective at the Liszt Institute London. \nJoin us for the opening celebrations of Cross-Section on 5 June\, 6.00-8.00 pm.

SUMMARY:Attila Bartis: The End | Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Literary meet and greet with EBRD Literary Prize 2024 nominee Attila Bartis featuring his work of prose: THE END\nAuthor Attila Bartis and translator Judith Sollosy discuss the recently published The End with moderator Jozefina Komporaly.\n“The story of a photographer who… No. The story of a man who… No. The story of a love affair that… Or the story of several love affairs that taken together… Or the story of a nation that… Ah\, forget it. This novel offers everything that a novel can possibly offer: truth\, sincerity\, atmosphere\, story. And something else besides that fans of Attila Bartis are familiar with: the irresistible sweep of emotions that carry you with it and won’t let you go. Whether readers consider András Szabad a maniac or fall helplessly in love with him\, either way\, they will feel that life is worth living only as he lives it\, with this intensity. We call a character like him a hero. We are bound to go along with him.” (István Kemény)
