Uniquely Hungary: Delighted To See Ludwig Go Pop In Budapest, By Anne Zwack
- 21 Oct 2015 9:04 AM
- community & culture
Until I came to this sensational exhibition at the Ludwig Museum I didn’t know I liked Pop Art. Basically I only knew Warhol’s Campbell Soup and Lichtenstein’s comic strips which are here as well, but I was unprepared for the arresting impact of this huge collection of art works whose artistic quality, it seems to me, outweighs what they call in marketing meetings here the “Vow Effect”.

Xpat Opinion: The New Ethics Textbook For Hungarian Fifth Graders
- 13 Sep 2013 1:00 AM
- community & culture
What can one say about the newly introduced ethics textbook for Hungarian fifth graders? For starters, it is not, strictly speaking, an ethics text. Ethics is not a branch of religion, and being ethical is not the same as following the law or adhering to societal norms. So a textbook that lauds religious virtues and advocates unquestioning civil obedience doesn’t belong in an ethics class.

Invitation: Nadja Massun's Exhibition At Hungarian House Of Photography

- community & culture
I’ve heard that people from afar can say or claim whatever they want about themselves.
