“I am not looking to spoon-feed people the answers” – Domonkos Varga’s portfolio
Date: 2022.04.25
Domonkos Varga (winner of the the Stefan Lengyel Excelence Scholarship 2022) used to focus almost exclusively on documentary photography, but he soon realised he wanted to find his own voice, along with a style with which he could fully identify.
He completed his first personal project, Res Materialis, as a second-year student, and the series – in addition to earning positive feedback – completely changed the visual character of his works. Since then, his projects have been based on the deconstruction of various social phenomena and ideologies. He makes no secret of the fact that his goal is to raise awareness about today’s major issues through his metaphorical images.

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.
Hogyan támogathatja egy tér a közösségeket, hányféleképp lehet egy traumát a fotográfia segítségével képpé formálni? Miképpen vonhatunk be sérült embereket egyszerű tevékenységekbe, egy kis játékkal hogyan csökkenthetjük a kis elsősök szorongását? A válaszokat az ismét a MOME évnyitóján átadott Stefan Lengyel Kiválósági Ösztöndíj nyertesei mondják el munkáikkal: az idei válogatás egyszerre bizonyítja, hogy a design egy gondolkodásmód, amellyel esélyt teremthetünk, és amely nem nélkülözheti a kutatást és a kísérletezést sem.
