The MOME Doctoral School cordially invites you to the thesis defence of graphic designer Balázs Vargha, titled Hungarian National and State Symbols. His research explores the visual heritage and contemporary use of national symbols, while his masterwork presents the visual codification of Hungary’s state emblems. The defence forms part of the Multimedia Arts DLA programme, with Professor Emeritus László Zsótér as the candidate’s supervisor, and Dr Márton Szentpéteri as chair of the defence committee.

The MOME Sonic Atelier is hosting a special Listening Session featuring Trevor Wishart’s The Garden of Earthly Delights, a seventy-minute electroacoustic work presented on the studio’s eight-channel sound system.

„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)
