“Europe & Hungary Are Experiencing A Refugee Crisis”
- 6 Jul 2015 9:00 AM

There is a very real refugee crisis unfolding in Hungary, and nobody knows how long it will last. The government provides funding for everything except essentials: billions of forints squandered on billboard campaigns and a 175-kilometre border fence, while the migrant servicing system is overwhelmed. The answer has yet to be found on a European level, as well.

- 18 Jun 2015 9:00 AM
- current affairs
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán thinks the government’s billboard campaign emphasizes Hungary being an open and friendly country, but he also thinks migrants have no business trying to settle in Hungary.

- current affairs
I just received Eleni Kounalakis’s Madam Ambassador: Three Years of Diplomacy, Dinner Parties, and Democracy in Budapest (New York: The New Press), recounting her years in Budapest as U.S. Ambassador.

The Art Of Being Anita Kroo
- 7 May 2015 11:35 AM
- community & culture
By Liz Frommer: It’s not easy being an artist. And not due to the challenges perhaps of creating and existing. More so due to the fact that you as an artist may never truly be understood, not even by yourself. And yet it is this search for identity that fuels art as we know it. Perhaps the longer the search, the greater the art becomes.
