As long as it's 𝓅𝒾𝓃𝓀 – exhibition opening

With her background in design theory and design management, ed𝒾t brings together images and objects, consumer goods and artworks—tools familiar from everyday life and pieces seen in museum displays or on gallery walls. What ties them together is the color pink—its many shades carrying different meanings across times, cultures, and social contexts.

When did pink become a distinctly feminine color? What does it symbolize in folk art? How was it used by the French royal court, socialist-era Hungary, and Hollywood? How did the beauty and toy industries claim it, and how have feminist movements redefined its meaning? And what does pink stand for today?

You'll find answers to these and similar questions at ed𝒾t’s subjective design history exhibition, opening on July 31 and on view until September 9 at ed𝒾tory. The exhibition is recommended for minors only under adult supervision.

Exhibiting artists and designers: BATÓ Dorottya, GOLLOB Hanna, KLEMENT Csaba, KOVÁCS József Tamás, KÖREI Sándor, LŐRINCZ Réka, PAPP Zsófia, PUSKÁS Marcell, RÉDLING Hanna, Zeus SALAS, Paula SCHER, SZOMBAT Éva, TAYLER Patrick, ZENGŐVÁRI Judit

 What can you expect on the opening night? 

✽ There’s no dress code, but you can count on ed𝒾t showing up in full pink. Throw on a fun pink accessory—or go all in and dress head to toe in pink!

✽ Of course, the evening wouldn’t be complete without a design quiz! The beloved format from the opening housewarming party returns, this time themed around pink, of course. Test your knowledge, enter solo or in a team, and compete for fabulous pink prizes!

✽ If you, like ed𝒾t, have a soft spot for pink objects, you won’t have to say goodbye to them after the exhibition. A special illustration debuting at the opening features nine iconic design objects reimagined in pink by ed𝒾t and her dear friend Hanna Gollob.

Support our self-funded exhibition and take a piece of it home—as a postcard or a print!

✽ ed𝒾t is tuning the music pink too. Expect a mix of sounds—not just Pink Floyd!

✽ And the color of the catering? Well... you guess it!

Warmly awaits you,

ed𝒾t
