UNDERSTANDING THE PHOTO PHENOMENON<br />
In today’s mightily visual culture, news travel by images and affect us immediately.<br />
Photojournalists help us understand the world. One of the most prominent displays<br />
of this genre: the World Press Photo contest and exhibition, supporting quality photojournalism<br />
and welcoming over a hundred thousand photographs for the annual<br />
contest for 55 years. One location for the travelling exhibition of the awarded photos<br />
is Budapest. Interested in learning<br />
details from behind the scenes? Listen<br />
to Tamás Révész, award-winning<br />
photographer, member of the jury<br />
and organizer of the <strong>Hungarian</strong> World<br />
Press Photo exhibit, who’ll share some<br />
thoughts on how digital technology and<br />
an ever-transforming media affect photojournalism<br />
too. The lecture is part of<br />
the monthly series of intriguing presentations<br />
in English by experts from various<br />
fi elds within photography.<br />

Who would have thought – this will be the 21st Night of Art Collectors! The secret<br />
of its popularity? The event’s constant renewal: each time the audience is<br />
surprised with extras and novelties. And this year will be no exception. Eighteen<br />
galleries will be holding exhibition openings and guided tours, hosting concerts<br />
and lectures on April 12th, between 5 p.m. and midnight, and all events can be<br />
attended free of charge! This year, contemporary artists show what they got:<br />
László Sallay at the Bardoni Interieur, a kind of ‘best-of’ exhibition of Kálmán<br />
Makláry at Melange Gallery, Csilla Bondor’s collection of installations at the<br />
Sonja Pintér Contemporary Gallery (with a tour guided by the artist herself!)<br />
and the fi nissage of Márton<br />
Romvári’s exhibition at the<br />
Prestige Gallery. Of course,<br />
there’s a lot more – check<br />
out the event’s homepage<br />

ONE NIGHT, THREE CHOREOGRAPHIES<br />
Compagnia EgriBianco Danza, an Italian dance company led by one of the<br />
most important Italian choreographers of our times, Susanna Egri has arrived<br />
in Budapest, performing three dramatic pieces at the National Dance Theater!<br />
Searching for peace - Da Nobis Pacem shows human beings struggling for<br />
absolute truth in the hope to fi nd peace. Les Noces on the other hand explores<br />
the feeling of anxiety of a couple<br />
who are obliged to get married, with<br />
a critical eye on forced marriage still<br />
existing in many places of the world.<br />
In Amor di Mundo, a piece recently<br />
premiered in Torino, choreographer<br />
Raphael Bianco focuses on the soul<br />
and voice of a country which despite<br />
the diffi culties of life, still has hope for<br />
the future – to the enchanting melodies<br />
of Cesaria Evora.<br />
