Project Arts Centre in partnership with NCAD presents
In collaboration with the National College of Art and Design (NCAD) there will be two guided tours of the current exhibition, From Fake Mountains to Faith (Hungarian Trilogy) by Budapest-based artist and cultural activist Szabolcs KissPál.
Dr Lisa Godson, lecturer and historian of design and material culture, will lead a special guided tour and talk about the work and the artist at 5pm on Wednesday, 20 December.
From Fake Mountains to Faith investigates political communities as complicatedly constructed entities. Departing from the current authoritarian Hungarian state policy and the creation of ‘illiberal democracy’, the work examines institutional and historical narratives while looking at the shifting political and public perspective on trauma and memory.
From Fake Mountains to Faith (Hungarian Trilogy) – Guided Tour with Professor David Crowley.
