This special weekend offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the meeting of art, history, and Eastern culture in a truly atmospheric setting.

On July 7, 1914, two secondary school teachers from Pápa, Zsigmond Fejes and Imre Lakos, set out on a journey to explore the then largely unmapped regions of Cilicia. Their choice of destination was likely influenced by the Turanian movement’s fascination with the East, as well as by personal ambition.

The Future Traditions project is an international research and education development programme launched in 2015 by the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in partnership with the University of South-Eastern Norway. Its aim is the innovative reinterpretation of traditional folk art forms and their closely associated archaic craft techniques through the contemporary methodology of design research.
