MANIFEST Budapest Residency Recap 

Greetings, art enthusiasts!



We're thrilled to present the highlights of the first stop of the MANIFEST Artistic Journey in Zsennye, Hungary. It was a remarkable experience of creativity, enrichment, and profound connections for our talented artists.



Jaqueline Zamora (@zzamoree) captured the soul of the residency amidst magnificent sceneries. Hungary's rich past and majestic castles influenced their creativity, leaving a lasting impression on their art and personal development. Jaqueline's heartful caption expressed gratitude for the shared experience and the joy of witnessing the power of art in connecting souls. We're happy to share her beautiful photographs, celebrating her artistic journey as it continues.



Partners' Role in MANIFEST

Khora is leading the project MANIFEST, while CUMEDIAE is lending valuable support in terms of overall project management. We would also like to thank to Pro Progressione for generously hosting the MANIFEST Budapest Residency.



 Lectures by Les Anneaux de la Mémoire and Pro Progressione delved into the transatlantic trade's impact, while artist Borsos Lőrinc sparked deep discussions on artists' identities.



József Mélyi's green artistic practices offered new avenues for exploration. Consultations with Khora and Gerador inspired innovative approaches to storytelling using AR/VR and audiovisual production.



If you missed it, you can watch our Instagram highlights of the residency. Join us in celebrating the profound impact of art as we embrace the stories and visions of talented artists from around the world.



With gratitude,
The MANIFEST Team
