A nagy mesterek legfontosabb mondatai szelíden hangzanak el, mégis egy életre velünk maradnak. Benkő Imre halk szavú jelenléte ilyen volt, formális és informális keretek között egyaránt. Számos fotográfus tanulhatott a társadalomábrázoló humanista művész érzékeny, empatikus szemléletéből, gondolkodásmódjából táplálkozva. Noha csupán két évig, 1998 és 2000 között oktatott a Zugligeti úti intézményben, riportfotóórái, visszafogott, részletekre érzékeny iránymutatása a dokumentarista fotográfia egész középgenerációját inspirálta. Tudásának lenyomata, ha nem is a maga teljességében, töredékeiben még a második, harmadik nemzedék munkáiban is felfedezhető.
The ethical principles set out by the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) affirm the university’s strong commitment to safeguarding the human dignity, physical and emotional wellbeing, and integrity of all university citizens and upholding their fundamental personal rights.
A Moholy-Nagy Művészeti Egyetem (MOME) ismét fontos mérföldkőhöz érkezett: a hónapokig tartó komplex felújítás után ünnepélyesen átadták a kibővített kapacitású, megújult egyetemi könyvtárat. A tervezésben a felhasználók, a könyvtárban dolgozó szakemberek és kollégák, a hallgatók és az oktatók visszajelzéseire alapoztak, így ez a beruházás nem csupán infrastrukturális bővítést jelent, hanem a szellemi élet és a közösségi gondolkodás elmélyítését is szolgálja – ráadásul izgalmas designmegoldásokkal.
The Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) has opened a new chapter in its sustainability journey with the inauguration of its Community Garden on 30 September – a major milestone in the university’s campus development efforts aimed at enhancing sustainability and biodiversity.
Two dedicated members of the faculty have been presented with this year’s Aurum Futuri (Gold of the Future) Award: art historian, curator, and lecturer Kinga German PhD, and design culture researcher and aesthetic theorist Ákos Schneider PhD. Both are professionals who believe in the transformative power of design and education, and whose impact reaches well beyond MOME itself. Now in its third year, the Aurum Futuri Award recognises MOME’s most outstanding educators and researchers, highlighting the value they create through mentoring, educational renewal, and research.
Ismét országjárásra indult a MOME Tiéd a holnap – A jövő kreatív tehetségeiért ösztöndíjprogram csapata: ezúttal a fókuszba Székesfehérvár, Szolnok, Cegléd, Kecskemét, Nyíregyháza és térsége került. A Moholy-Nagy Művészeti Egyetem (MOME), mely feladatának tekinti, hogy esélyt teremtsen hazánk legszegényebb településein élő tehetséges diákoknak is, először 2023-ban hirdette meg átfogó, országos ösztöndíj- és tehetségprogramját.

Working at the intersection of fiction and documentary, and stage and background, German film and video artist Julian Rosefeldt combines cinematography, architecture, theatre and literature in his installations. Particularly interested in the relationship between stage and background, the visible and the hidden, the original and the imitation, his films not only evoke social narratives but also reflect on the moving image itself being an archive, a factory of myths and an experimental space.

No designer wants their work to contribute to the erosion of human relationships, the destruction of the planet, or the growth of social inequality. But how can they find their place in a consumer society?

„Global society has not yet understood the distinction between physical expansion and qualitative development. It has passed the stage where more physical expansion is desirable. No widely-shared global goal is now served by having more people or material goods. Now it is important to learn how to advance the development of our species - achieving equity, peace, psychological balance, physical health, environmental quality.” (Dennis Meadows, co-author of Limits to Growth)
