TO BE CURIOUS – A Glance at Hungarian Contemporary Photography
May 19 | 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
The Liszt Institute, Hungarian Cultural Centre London, is proud to present TO BE CURIOUS — A Glance at Hungarian Contemporary Photography, a group exhibition by TOBE Gallery Budapest.
Contemporary photography is always fertile ground for curiosity: it raises questions, responds sensitively to the present, and offers new perspectives on interpreting reality. The exhibition TO BE CURIOUS — A Glance at Hungarian Contemporary Photography presents works by artists such as Máté Bartha, Kincső Bede, Anna Fabricius, Ádám Magyar, Katharina Roters, Júlia Standovár, and Wanda Martin, who, through different approaches yet with a shared sensitivity, engage with important issues of our time.
Their works move along the boundary between personal and collective experience: questions of identity, layers of memory, and the uncertainties and tensions of the present all emerge in them. The images do not merely document, but also interpret and reorganise, while creating space for quiet observation and reflection.
Here, curiosity is not only an attitude, but also a method: a tool for understanding, doubt, and discovery. The exhibition invites viewers not to seek ready-made answers, but to approach what they see with openness and sensitivity, connecting with the works through their own questions.
Join us for the exhibition opening on Tuesday, 19 May, 6.30 – 8.30 PM. The evening will include a book presentation by Wanda Martin on her photography book, The Ballad of Eternal Youth. Opening remarks by TOBE Gallery. RSVP via Eventbrite.
