The Hungarian Cultural Center is hosting the exhibition ‘Future Traditions_2.0’, which brings together student works prepared within the framework of the international research and education program of Moholy-Nagy University and Marmara University. Hungary’s prestigious Moholy-Nagy University’s Department of Art and Design launched the ‘Future Traditions’ program in 2015 in collaboration with the University of South-Eastern Norway. This international program aims to bring an innovative interpretation to traditional folk art forms and closely related archaic craft techniques by utilizing contemporary design research methodologies. The exhibition in Istanbul showcases works created by 15 Hungarian and 10 Turkish students as a result of the collaboration between Moholy-Nagy University’s Department of Art and Design and Marmara University’s Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Traditional Turkish Arts, which took place last September. The participating faculty members and students represent a wide range of design disciplines, from textile design to object production.
The exhibition is on view at the Hungarian Cultural Center from April 8 to August 31.
