Anadol's Rumi Dreams on Display at MODEM in Debrecen Until 29 Sept.
On display in the Debrecen gallery until Sept 29. A video installation entitled Rumi Dreams by renowned Turkish-American contemporary multimedia artist Refik Anadol has been put on display at the MODEM in Debrecen, in eastern Hungary.

The large-scale video work on a 32sqm LED wall was inspired by the classic works of poet, philosopher and theologian Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi, who lived in Anatolia in the 13th century.

Speaking at the opening on the weekend, Turkish Ambassador Gülşen Karanis Ekşioğlu said that “Rumi’s messages of love, understanding, tolerance and forgiveness are well-known and are today of greater significance than ever before”.

She noted that the event had been organised as part of the Hungary-Türkiye cultural season which celebrates the 100th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations, adding that this was the first time that Türkiye was presented in Debrecen.

After being showcased at the MoMA in New York, in Las Vegas’ Sphere and the Grammy Gala, Anadol’s artwork will be on display in the Debrecen gallery until Sept 29.

Hungary Today

Launched online long after XpatLoop.com, this 'government-related' source states its aim is "to provide a complete, unbiased picture of Hungary”. However the site also says that this “does not necessarily mean that our writers do not have their own opinions,” which is useful for our readers to keep in mind. Another stated aim expressed is to become “the leading English-language news portal of Hungary”, which is a role that XpatLoop has successfully fulfilled independently for well over two decades. That noted, our team is open to occasionally sharing a useful Hungary Today article - with their permission of course - for the benefit of our readers.
