News
What does it take for a young designer to be successful? Whether for running their own graphic design or animation studio, founding their own fashion label or working as an employee, future designers need market and entrepreneurial skills to succeed and realise their goals. For this purpose, MOME teachers have developed a course that is unique in the Central Eastern European region, providing students with a business approach specifically reflecting the needs of the creative industries. The Business to Design (B2D) educational programme was created with involvement of prominent professionals and entrepreneurs in the field, MOME alumni, as well as invited international speakers. Its originality lies in it forming part of the curriculum and being a mandatory subject for all BA students.
In the spring semester, a presentation series under the title Human Ecology and Design took place with coordination by the MOME Institute for Theoretical Studies and Péter Haba and participation of ELTE’s Human Ecology MA. Video recordings of the presentations are now publicly available for viewing.
Founder of the Deák Erika Gallery and founder and eponym of one of the scholarships of the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design was interviewed by Prae.hu about what it means to be a gallerist in Hungary, the international scene, art training in Hungary and the opportunities open to emerging artists. In addition to owning a gallery featuring contemporary artists, Erika Deák has founded multiple grants supporting young artists and curators, which she also shares details about in the interview.
Events
On Wednesday, March 22, from 17:00 to 19:00, Annabella Hevesi will talk about the adventures and challenges an emerging designer can face during product development - at home, as a woman. Since 2018, Annabella has been the lead designer of the Line and Round studio, and they worked with clients such as the Opera House, Sopron Basket and the Four Seasons Hotel.
The Hungarian Cultural Anthropological Society (MAKAT), the Institute for Theoretical Studies of Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME), and the Art and Design Anthropology Workshop are co-organising a conference entitled Art+Design+Anthropology.
