Shukar!
- beautiful, in English - Contemporary Art by Hungarian Roma Women, "presents a contemporary Roma art that is hardly na?ve. Rather, it is critical, political, and above all, painterly. The works in SHUKAR! reflect upon the social role of women and their double-minority position in the Hungarian Roma community. Theses paintings are at once provocative and beautiful, asking viewers to reconsider the role of Roma women and Roma contemporary art," the exhibition organisers say.
The show includes pieces by Jolán Oláh and Mara Oláh, who work together under the name OMARA, as well as by Gyöngyi Kalányos Rácz and Teréz Orsós.
The exhibition runs until April 8, 2010.
From April 15, the Hungarian Cultural Center will host an exhibition of work by Péter Korniss.
