Graduate students of our university's BA Photography programme are featured in the OFF Bratislava Biennale in Bratislava

Date: 2022.11.07

Titled ‘Elsewhere’ this year, the now thirteen years old OFF Bratislava Biennale is about the force that drives people to move, migrate or just aimlessly wander around and their concepts of home and foreign land.

At the time the topic was chosen, organisers did not expect how relevant it will be in a short while due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The festival traditionally opens artistic discourse to its broadest extent, offering a diverse spectrum of views to help us move forward in this mutual confrontation “beyond the borders” of our thinking, inevitably touching on the subject of borders of any kind that restrict movement in our world.

Exhibiting graduate students of the MOME Photography BA are: Zsófia Blaschke, Ádám Gara, Benjámin Melegh, Emma Szabó, Adrienn Szövérffi, and Lukács Tompa.

Curator: Fátyol Viola. Participants in the organisation: Imre Drégely and Tímea Fábry.

The books of our graduates can be viewed in the photo book section of the Biennale and in the OFF LIBRIS selection including the works of Roxane Juhász, Cora Sun Yuting, Laura Virág Szekeres, Konrád Taródi-Nagy, Éva Szombat, Franciska Legát and Barna Gajda.

The work of alumna Sári Zagyvai can be seen in the selection titled IMAGINARY EXCURSION.

All three exhibitions can be viewed in Bratislava until November 18th. More information on the festival and individual exhibitions can be found on the website: https://offbratislava.sk/en/.

System-level thinking in the winning student projects of the ‘Jump into the Future!’ competition

Water still feels like a given in our everyday lives – but for how much longer? This pressing issue was tackled by secondary school students in the 2025 edition of the ‘Jump into the Future!’ creative competition. Working in teams, pupils from Years 7 to 10 developed bold, imaginative ideas for the future of one of life’s most essential resources. In the second round, selected teams refined their concepts in close collaboration with MOME mentors. At the final on 25 June, ten teams presented their forward-thinking visions, with four of them awarded by a jury of MOME faculty. First place went to Ísbíltúr, second to Bacsaók, third to Code Noir, while Newwave received a special prize. All four stood out not only for their creativity, but also for their systems-level approach, serving as a powerful reminder that water scarcity is no distant threat but an issue we must act on now.

MOME students once again take top honours at the Red Dot Awards

How can we make better use of public transport infrastructure? What would a truly fast and effective life-saving device look like? And how can we save agriculture in a world without bees? These are just a few of the questions addressed by our design students, and their imaginative, forward-thinking answers have earned international recognition in the Design Concept category of one of the world’s most prestigious design competitions, the Red Dot Award. Seven projects mentored through the MOME Red Dot submission programme stood out from the global competition this year, including diploma projects and semester-long university projects.
