The next episode of our Q&Alumni series has arrived! – This time, we sat down with Anna Rubi, MOME Media Design alumna. Anna is one of Hungary’s leading media artists, whose outstanding work has earned her numerous recognitions throughout her career – including the MOME Best of Media Design Award this June, granted by the department in acknowledgement of her exceptional artistic achievements. In our conversation, she shared her experiences from her university years, reflected on what MOME has given her, and talked about her award-winning documentary ‘Life Without You’. Anna also discussed why she considers creative block to be a kind of “luxury.”

In the newest instalment of our Q&Alumni series, you can get to know Boldizsár Mátyás and Mátyás Czél, media designers who are working in Budapest with their own design studios. They both graduated from MOME and after several successful collaborations, they founded POV Budapest, the first international design and visual arts conference in Hungary. Now the conference is much bigger and more ambitious, and Boldi and Matyi are both running their own design studios. They talked to us about their time at MOME, the beggining of their partnership and also what the future entails.

Every dress has a story, just like every MOME alumni has theirs – in this episode of the Q&Alumni series, we talked with Anita Korn about her journey! Anita arrived in MOME with a background in television and graduated in 2017 with an Art and Design Management MA degree. She told us about how a new world had opened to her coming to the university and what impacted her views here. And of course we spoke about what inspired her famous web-series, Ruhastory.

In the next instalment of our Q&Alumni series, we spoke with Ádám Tóth, who graduated from MOME in 2018 as a product designer. After his active university years, Ádám founded Malom Projekt, a design studio focusing on product development and interior design, experimenting with the reuse of plastics and natural materials, while also running creative workshops. He has collaborated with MOME on several projects, including the Művészetek Völgye Pavilion, completed last year, which will once again welcome visitors this year in Kapolcs at the MOME × Harcsa Veronika courtyard. Ádám told us about this project – and many others – in our conversation.

Nóra Demeczky is a familiar name in the design world – not just to the MOME community, but far beyond. Since graduating with a degree in Graphic Design in 2015, she has gone on to co-found the acclaimed design agency DE_FORM. Their work pops up time and again, spanning institutions and events from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences to the Inota Festival, and the Light Art Museum. Her hand is clearly visible at MOME too, where she’s taught courses, contributed to several communications projects, and still returns regularly for talks and community events. In this interview, she shares stories from her university years, the connections that shaped her life, her dream collaborators, and what DE_FORM is working on right now.

In the first written feature of our Q&Alumni series, we spoke with jewellery designer Patrícia Harsány, a 2021 graduate of the MOME Jewellery and Metal Design MA programme. She shared her reflections on student life – from the vibrancy of life in the halls of residence and the warmth of university communities to collaborative projects that still influence her practice today. Since graduating, Patrícia has remained an active contributor to both her field and the life of the university, with projects spanning from Milan to Zugligeti Road. We caught up with her to hear more about those adventures – and what continues to inspire her.

The first guest of the Q&Alumniof series is Anna Tőkés, MOME Animation alumna, who has recently participated in the Annecy International Animation Film Festival with her diploma film titled “The Last Drop.” In this episode, you can learn more about Anna’s experience at our university, her favourite memories of her time spent on campus, and even about her secret talents.
