As part of the FISU Healthy Campus initiative, the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) launched the MOME Balance programme in 2024, a pioneering initiative in Hungary that supports conscious lifestyle changes. The programme aims to help maintain health, prevent stress, and combat burnout through a comprehensive, integrated system that combines physical activity, proper nutrition, and lifestyle coaching.
This year, the world’s leading international animation film festival celebrates the 110th anniversary of Hungarian animation. MOME Anim, a prominent hub in the Hungarian animation scene, is also preparing for this prestigious event. As part of the celebration, students from MOME’s partner school, Gobelins Paris, recently visited our university, drawing inspiration from Budapest to create the curtain films for the festival – the short spots that precede each screening block.
The winners of the eighth ArtHungry Award in the Product Design category include several former MOME students, such as Máté Guthy, Róbert Kristóffy, and Nóra Szilágyi for their ‘At Least’ home workout bench, and Márk Dávid for his ‘Puritaan – 03’ collection. The main prize in this category went to MAIII COLLECTIVE for its Fragments collection, which debuted at this year’s Stockholm Furniture Fair. In the Graphic Design category, Nóra Kaszanyi also received a main prize for her album and exhibition design ‘Biedermeier Lifestyles. Art and the Rise of the Middle Classes in 19th-Century Hungary (1815–1867)’. The awards were presented on 6 March at a ceremony held at Deák Palace in Budapest, which also marked the opening of a pop-up exhibition featuring the finalist projects.
