Cracking Art<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The newest community space in Budapest, the riverside Millennium Park hosts the internationally known Cracking Art outdoor exhibition that boasts giant installations imitating the animals surrounding us. Invading public places in New York, Milano, and now Budapest, the colourful pieces of art aim to start a discussion about the impact humanity has on nature. Illuminated at night, the colossal statues are made of reusable plastic, so they can be re-shaped without using more of the material.<\/p>\n

Until 24 August 2022 | Millennium Park<\/p>\n

Patterns \u2013 Embroidery in Contemporary Art<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The latest contemporary fine arts exhibition of De\u00e1k17 Children and Youth Art Gallery opened in late June with the embroidered (or embroidery resembling) art works of 14 Hungarian artists in focus. Open on weekdays until 3 September, this free-to-attend display shows us how applied folk art can easily meet pop culture. Visitors may have a look at the silhouette of Freddie Mercury embroidered on a traditional table cloth, as well as the convergence of a QR code with embroidery.<\/p>\n

The Mosaics of Our Lives<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Boasting mostly Roma people from diverse backgrounds, the Ny\u00edregyh\u00e1za-based tekerd! (Twist It!) group has been creating art pieces made of LEGO parts since 2014. This time the creative group members tell the story of their lives with the help of mosaics created from colourful bricks, touching on important social issues like the question of equal opportunity, environment protection, and human rights. The intimate art works have made up The Mosaics of Our Lives exhibition in K\u00e9pez\u0151 that gives home to relating workshops and lectures until September.<\/p>\n

Captured \u2013 City, War, Love<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1 August 2022 marks the 78th anniversary of the outburst of the Warsaw Uprising, which is why the Polish Institute of Budapest\u2019s new exhibition opens this very day in Platan Gallery. The free-to-attend display focuses on the photographs captured by Polish photojournalist Tadeusz Bukowski between 1935 and 1955, evoking important historic events, including the Second Republic of Poland, the German invasion, and the Polish capital during post-war times. Documenting mostly the residents of Warsaw, Bukowski\u2019s photos capture the changes Warsaw endured during these two decades.<\/p>\n

Mural of the Sparrow and the Great Tit<\/strong><\/h3>\n

More and more abandoned firewalls in downtown Pest are decorated with vivid public murals that bring new life to sometimes unpopular areas. The latest mural in District VIII is no exception: the giant painting was designed by Hungarian street artist and illustrator Nikon One, and painted by the team of Neopaint Works. Bringing a touch of nature into the concrete jungle of the neighbourhood, Ill\u00e9s Street\u2019s new artwork boasts two bird species with \u201cthe sparrow conducting us through the night, and the great tit through the day,\u201d as the artist commented.<\/p>\n
