Schedule
Világszép KorTárs Kapcsolódások (Világszép Contemporary Connections) is an unusual contemporary art exhibition created for the 15th anniversary of the Világszép Child Protection Foundation. The exhibition focuses on the special encounter between 24 renowned contemporary Hungarian artists and 77 young people aged 2–25 who are in or have left state care.
The young people first got to know the artists through their works, then dreamed up new works together during personal meetings. The artists then created the works featured in the exhibition based on the inspiration from these encounters, which represent both the power of art and human connection.
